SPECIFIC TOPIC CALL FOR 2016 GRANT APPLICATIONS In 2016 BSAC gave priority to the following research topics for Research, Education & Project grant applications: Diagnostics: More optimal/effective use of antimicrobials through PK/PD in clinical practice Prognostic markers of bacterial infection (i.e. When is an antibacterial indicated?) Prognostic markers of infection with microorganisms resistant to empirical treatment regimens (i.e. When is a broad-spectrum antibacterial indicated?) Can better use of existing or new laboratory diagnostics including biomarkers support better stewardship across healthcare communities? Antimicrobial Stewardship: The impact of resistance or antimicrobial consumption surveillance on patient outcomes in community, long term care and acute facilities Innovative promotion of behaviour change science in prescribing in all healthcare settings Impact of educational solutions / guidelines etc. on stewardship practice / infection treatment outcomes [could be systematic review] Impact of sepsis campaigns on optimal antibiotic use / stewardship or use of agents” “older used in stewardship on clinical outcomes Wherever possible projects should be cross disciplinary and take account of the One Health Agenda
