JOS University Teaching Hospital

JOS University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), located in Jos, Plateau, Nigeria, is a not-for-profit hospital registered in SAM.gov since July 24, 2011. The institution is primarily engaged in medical research and healthcare services, with a significant focus on infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS research, and international health collaborations. As a prominent research and medical institution in West Africa, JUTH has established itself as a key partner for various U.S. government health initiatives, particularly those focused on emerging infectious diseases, clinical research, and public health interventions.

JUTH has been involved in numerous federal grant awards, predominantly from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The hospital's grant work spans critical research areas including viral hepatitis testing, Lassa fever patient studies, HIV/AIDS care for adolescents, cervical cancer screening for women living with HIV, and emerging infectious disease surveillance. Key research partners have included Northwestern University, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, and the University of Michigan. Recent grant projects have focused on developing research administration capabilities, conducting point-of-care technology research for HIV/AIDS, investigating hearing loss in Lassa fever patients, performing diagnostic studies for febrile illnesses, and enhancing coronavirus surveillance in West Africa. The most recent significant grant, a $112,943 NIAID project effective August 2024, aims to build research administration capacities and develop electronic grant management systems for JUTH and regional partner institutions.
