The Cambridge Infectious Diseases Consortium (CIDC) was formed in 2004 with funding from the Veterinary Training and Research Initiative (VTRI) to conduct high quality infectious disease research and to enhance training of veterinarians in infectious disease science. Following the official end of the VTRI in 2009, the successful research programmes have now been subsumed into a number of research collaborations and additional personal funding for post-graduate fellowships has been obtained by a number of individual fellows.

CIDC was centred at the University of Cambridge Veterinary School and includes leading groups from the University of Cambridge Departments of Pathology, Zoology and DAMTP, The Animal Health Trust (AHT), The Sanger Centre, The Veterinary Laboratories Agency, the Institute for Animal Health, the Institute of Zoology, London and University of Pretoria, Onderstepoort, South Africa.

More information is available here on the education and training programmes formerly provided under CIDC.
