Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (UEM) is a foreign non-profit organization located in Maputo, Mozambique, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2009 and currently active through February 2026. As an international organization, UEM has established itself as a key partner for U.S. federal agencies seeking research and capacity-building expertise in various domains, particularly in health, environmental sciences, and social development. The university primarily engages with federal agencies through cooperative agreements, providing specialized research, training, and implementation services that address complex global challenges.

UEM's federal grant portfolio demonstrates extensive collaboration across multiple U.S. agencies and research institutions, with a pronounced focus on health, environmental governance, and social inclusion. Notable grant awards include work with the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute on hypertension and HIV care cascades, U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service projects on forest governance, and research partnerships with institutions like the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center on cervical cancer prevention technologies. The university has received sub-awards from prestigious institutions such as Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Michigan State University, and Tufts University, engaging in diverse projects ranging from biomedical informatics training and research ethics education to LGBTQI+ inclusion initiatives and infectious disease emergence studies. These grants typically involve conducting advanced research, developing innovative technologies, building institutional capacities, and addressing critical challenges in healthcare, environmental management, and social equity in Mozambique and potentially broader regional contexts.
