About the company
Makerere University Lung Institute LIMITED, a state-controlled educational institution based in Kampala, Uganda, functions as a federal research recipient and subrecipient on grants focused on pulmonary disease, infectious disease, and environmental health in low- and middle-income countries, primarily through the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The institute operates as a foreign government entity and is classified as an educational institution of higher learning. It does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; all federal engagement has been through grant mechanisms. The institute's activity is nascent in the source data — four total awards spanning 2024 through early 2026, with $901 thousand combined dollars obligated. One award positions Makerere as a prime recipient; three position it as a subrecipient beneath university-based prime grantees.
On the prime side, Makerere received a $249,048 K43 Emerging Global Leader Award from the National Institutes of Health Fogarty International Center (CFDA 93.989) under the International Research and Research Training program, awarded September 16, 2025, running through August 31, 2030. The award funds Dr. Alex Kayongo, MD-PhD, for advanced career development and mentorship in multi-omics analysis methodologies, with the research goal of understanding how lung dysbiosis drives chronic inflammation in HIV-associated COPD in people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. Mentorship is provided by Dr. William Checkley at Johns Hopkins University and Dr. Moses Lutaakome Joloba at Makerere, with collaborators from Charité University and Imperial College London.
As a subrecipient, Makerere participates in three awards: a February 2026 sub-grant from Rutgers focused on air pollution effects on mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission in urban Uganda; an October 2025 sub-grant from Johns Hopkins University on tuberculosis elimination; and a July 2024 sub-grant from the University of Miami on a multi-ethnic epidemiological study. Customer agencies span USAID, NIH Fogarty International Center, NIH National Institute on Aging, and NIH National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences — each appearing once across the four-award footprint.
