About the company
University Of Ghana Medical Centre, based in Accra, Ghana, operates as a research grant recipient focused on HIV epidemiology, virology, and cure-research infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa, performing the majority of its federal work as a sub-recipient under Washington University prime grants from the National Institutes of Health. The institution does not hold federal contracts; all federal funding flows through the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Fogarty International Center at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
UGMC's federal footprint is concentrated in NIH grant work addressing HIV reservoir dynamics and antiretroviral therapy outcomes in populations underrepresented in cure-research literature. As a prime recipient, UGMC holds three NIAID project grants: a $146,231 award issued July 16, 2026 (CFDA 93.855, Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program) to characterize HIV-2 and dual HIV-1/2 reservoirs across CD4+ T-cell subsets and monocytes in a cohort of 74 virologically suppressed individuals in Ghana, using cell-associated DNA PCR, quantitative viral outgrowth assays, and intact proviral DNA assays through June 30, 2028; an August 16, 2024 project grant studying pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics of dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy in young people living with HIV (ultimate completion July 31, 2026); and a March 22, 2022 award examining the impact of tuberculosis co-infection on HIV reservoir dynamics and latency-reversing agent response (completed February 28, 2025). As a sub-recipient, UGMC participates in six active Washington University-led D43 training grants from the Fogarty International Center awarded between June 2024 and April 2026, building research capacity for Ghanaian scientists in HIV basic science and cure research through the H-CRIS (HIV Cure Research Infrastructure Studies) laboratory at the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research, affiliated with the University of Ghana system.
Activity has grown from one award in 2022 to two or four awards annually in 2024–2026, with one award reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. UGMC's sub-recipient footprint (70% of awards) reflects its role as a Ghana-based research site and training partner for Washington University's NIH-funded programs, where UGMC supplies clinical cohorts, molecular laboratory capacity, and senior researchers (including Sub-PI Dr. Evelyn Yayra Bonney) to support graduate student and postdoctoral fellow training focused on women living with HIV and HIV cure science in West African populations.
