This Funding opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research (ICEMR) Program, a multidisciplinary network of Centers that will conduct research in malaria-endemic sites to 1) improve our understanding of malaria pathogenesis, epidemiology, and transmission; and 2) evaluate, optimize, and inform development of interventions to understand, control, eliminate, and eventually eradicate malaria. This program is intended to support research that is conducted primarily in countries in which malaria is endemic, and must provide for significant involvement of local/regional researchers in study design, development, and execution.
Only one application per institution, normally identified by having a unique entity identifier (UEI) or NIH IPF number, is allowed.
Deadlines:
