Register for one of the free public webinars to learn more about the scope of the funding rounds and application process, and to engage in questions and answers with CARB-X staff. The same content will be provided at both:


Expressions of Interest (EOI) for all four themes may be submitted during the following timeframes:

  • 18 March 2024 at 10:00 ET – 29 March 2024 at 23:59 ET
  • 23 September 2024 at 10:00 ET – 4 October 2024 at 23:59 ET

In the EOI, you will be asked to answer a series of questions about your proposed project and will be given the opportunity to share pertinent, non-confidential details, in free text. Your application will be judged on the merits of its scientific content; describe your science with as much data as possible. Please do provide sufficient data to allow a knowledgeable scientist to get a reasonable sense of the therapeutic/preventative/diagnostic. Do not provide other manuscripts, references, citations or similar. Note that the form can only accept text; you may not enter tables or graphics. Do not include foundational information regarding the significance of antibiotic resistance; this is not necessary, as the reviewers understand this.
