The CREID Network Pilot Research Program supports, trains, and mentors the next generation of emerging infectious disease researchers. This program helps develop capacity for emerging infectious disease research around the world through the performance of scientific research projects.

Scientific research project topics could include but are not limited to studies on pathogen transmission, emergence, or maintenance in an ecosystem; pathogenesis; characterization of viral antigens; phylogenetics; viral diversity; sociological or behavioral influences on emerging or reemerging viral diseases; development of reagents and diagnostic assays to improve detection of emerging pathogens; and studies aimed at detailing human immune responses to new or emerging infectious agents. Preliminary data are not required.

The CREID Pilot Research Program is designed for researchers who are in the early stage of their careers, including applicants from lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) who are poised to lead research studies and postdoctoral fellows and investigators who fit within the NIH definition of New Investigator AND who establish a collaboration with one of the ten CREID Research Centers. Each CREID Research Center can support three applications for submission for each round of applications and each applicant must collaborate with at least one of the ten CREID Research Centers.

The CREID Coordinating Center administers and oversees the Pilot Research Program. Four rounds of awards have been made to early career investigators from around the world and across all continents (see CREID Network Map).
