This federal Project Grant award, titled "EXPANDED STRENGTHENING OF MAKERERE UNIVERSITY'S RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION CAPACITY PROGRAM (E-SMAC)", is funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research. The $101,290 award, made on July 22, 2024, supports Makerere University College of Health Sciences in Uganda to strengthen its research administration capacity, particularly related to managing NIH grants. The key objectives are to provide advanced training and mentoring to senior research administrators on pre- and post-award grants management best practices, and to develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) to enhance grants management implementation at Makerere University and its Ugandan research partners. This will help the institution sustain its significant growth in securing NIH and other U.S. federal research funding, which has made it a leading center for infectious disease research in sub-Saharan Africa. By cementing a strong research administration infrastructure, the project aims to benefit all those working to improve health outcomes in disadvantaged Ugandan and regional populations.
