About the company
University Of Buea, a foreign government educational institution based in Cameroon, participates in federal grant programs as a prime recipient and sub-recipient, conducting global health research in partnership with U.S. universities under awards from the National Institutes of Health. The institution does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the federal grant space, with 67% of recent awards routed through UCLA as the prime grantee.
University Of Buea's federal footprint centers on two distinct NIH grant programs. The institution holds two prime grants totaling $10.9 million in combined obligated funding: a Project Grant from the Fogarty International Center (FIC) awarded June 1, 2026, supporting implementation of a culturally adapted Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) program for alcohol use disorder in emergency departments in Cameroon, running through May 31, 2031; and a Cooperative Agreement from the NIH Office of the Director awarded September 15, 2021, for the Data Science Center for the Study of Surgery, Injury, and Equity in Africa (D-SINE-AFRICA), a multi-institution hub with completion scheduled for June 30, 2026. Four sub-awards from UCLA (dated March 4, 2022; December 21, 2023; December 21, 2023; and September 4, 2024) route training and diagnostic-imaging research through University Of Buea as the local implementing institution in Cameroon, including trauma research training, point-of-care ultrasound capability development, and trauma quality improvement work.
All six awards derive from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, with five awards processed through the Fogarty International Center and one through the Office of the Director. Activity has been sporadic but recent — one award in each of 2021 and 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2026. University Of Buea's role is consistent: field-site research delivery in Cameroon, capacity building in trauma and surgical care, workforce training in public health and injury epidemiology, and partnership coordination with U.S. academic medical centers, particularly UCLA and UC Berkeley. The institution hosts trainees in its Department of Public Health and Hygiene and participates as mentoring faculty in research projects addressing health equity in injury and surgical disease across sub-Saharan Africa.
