Endorsement or Support:
What’s the Difference?
ASID Endorsed
Used when ASID agrees a submission meets its purpose and standards. No in-kind or financial resources are provided, just the mark of approval and optional promotion by ASID.
ASID Supported
Indicates ASID not only endorses the submission but also commits some level of in-kind or financial support. This may include staff time, promotional activity, or participation.
Eligible Submissions
We consider requests for:
- Clinical guidelines, resources, or websites
- Research grant proposals
- Studies, trials, or health projects
- Books, reports, or publications
- Events or campaigns (not run by ASID)
- Any initiative relevant to infectious diseases in Australasia
We don’t consider:
- Commercial product endorsements
- Sponsorship requests (these follow a separate process)
Key Criteria
To be considered, submissions must:
- Align with ASID’s purpose and strategy
- Be of high quality and ethical standards
