If you are working on health and disease modelling in Africa, you will be interested in a call for proposals for a new programme, ‘Strengthening Health and Disease Modelling for Public Health Decision Making in Africa’.
The programme has been launched by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Wellcome to support “modelling projects that answer important public health questions that are actionable enough to result in policies that improve people’s health, and that strengthen the African modelling ecosystem by developing new approaches and tools or connecting modelers and policymakers across countries and institutions”.
The programme is open to applicants from any country, but the proposed projects must focus on public health issues in Africa. Individual grants will be funded either by the Gates Foundation or by Wellcome. Each organisation’s thematic areas of focus, specific eligibility criteria and budgetary limits differ and applicants should consult the request for proposals and indicate to which organisation they are making their proposal.
Applications are due on 23 October 2023 by 11:30 AM, PDT. Find out more about the Strengthening Health and Disease Modelling for Public Health Decision Making in Africa call for proposals.
