Building Malaria Modeling Capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa

This RFP seeks innovative approaches to building a stronger malaria mathematical modeling ecosystem in sub-Saharan Africa. We are looking for 1 to 3 years projects that will achieve one or more of the objectives below:

  • Increasing the number of Ph.D.-trained mathematical modelers with malaria expertise based at sub-Saharan African institutions
  • Improving NMCP's understanding of and engagement with modeling approaches as a tool that can support strategic planning and/or evaluation work
  • Connecting malaria Product Development Partners (PDPs) with sub-Saharan African modelers
  • Bringing together discrete modeling units across sub-Saharan Africa to share expertise
  • Improving modelers' access to timely, high-quality data

Funding level: up to USD $1,000,000 per year for each project, with a grant term of 1 to 3 years depending on the scope of the project.
