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.
