The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Fogarty International Center awarded Makerere University College of Health Sciences $137,600 on August 15, 2026, under the International Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.989) to deliver research training in biomedical, epidemiological, and health data science focused on epidemic-prone emerging infections in Uganda. The award funds graduate-level training (MSc and PhD) in life-threatening emerging infectious diseases, with specialized tracks in infectious disease transmission models, molecular epidemiology, and applied artificial intelligence using R and Biopython. The program cultivates long-term scientific leadership among Ugandan trainees and builds a sustainable pipeline of research leadership by equipping junior faculty at Makerere University College of Health Sciences with mentored training, practical experience, and strategic skills. Training includes regular interactions with policy makers to strengthen trainee contributions to evidence-based decision-making related to prediction, prevention, and management of emerging infectious diseases. Work is performed in Uganda, where active transmission of high-consequence pathogens and patient cohorts provide irreplaceable disease ecology and clinical resources unavailable in the United States. Johns Hopkins University collaborates on the initiative. The award period runs through April 30, 2031. This is a Project Grant, an assistance type under FIC's International Research and Research Training program.
