Antimicrobial Resistance Initiatives

The National Institute of Antimicrobial Resistance Research and Education (NIAMRRE)

The National Institute of Antimicrobial Resistance Research and Education (NIAMRRE) connects people, resources, and ideas to accelerate and synergize efforts to combat antibiotic resistance. We create meaningful, action-oriented relationships that enable a shared vision across the animal-human-environment AMR system. Our priority areas are: research, education, collaboration, and advocacy.

WE BELIEVE IN CHANGE

The National Institute of Antimicrobial Resistance Research and Education (NIAMRRE) is a member organization that drives cross-sector engagement and coordinated action to combat the global threat of Antimicrobial Resistance across humans, animals, and the environment. To achieve our mission, we have identified four distinct focus areas: research, education, collaboration, and advocacy.

  • Advancing AMR research through the cultivation of networks and resources

  • Improving knowledge and stewardship of AMR through training and outreach

  • Convening cross-sector AMR stakeholders for the purpose of action

  • Raising awareness of AMR and advocating for AMR-specific funding
