Muni University

Muni University is a foreign government entity registered as an educational institution and state-controlled institution of higher learning in the U.S. federal government's System for Award Management (SAM). Established in Uganda, Muni University primarily provides educational and research services through federal grant sub-awards. The university collaborates with U.S. institutions on various scientific and development-focused projects, leveraging its local expertise and facilities to support international research initiatives.

Recent federal grant sub-awards to Muni University showcase its involvement in diverse fields. The university partnered with the University of California, Davis on a USAID-funded Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Horticulture project, providing expertise on youth engagement in horticultural activities. This role involved advising on project design, attending meetings, and conducting stakeholder engagement in regional hubs. Additionally, Muni University collaborated with Bucknell University on a National Institutes of Health-funded study examining immunological responses of African bats to viral antigens. In this project, Muni University personnel assisted with field work, bat collection, colony maintenance, and laboratory procedures, while also providing infrastructure support and facilitating local community engagement and regulatory compliance. These sub-awards demonstrate Muni University's capacity to contribute to international development and scientific research initiatives, particularly in areas leveraging its regional expertise and resources.
