View Award Description

UCSD-UEM Partnership: Training the Next Generation of Mozambican Scientists in Global Infectious Diseases and Malariology - Mozambique, a Portuguese-speaking, low-income country in southeastern Africa has one of the highest rates of malaria and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). These NTDs include trypanosomiasis, leprosy, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, rabies, schistosomiasis, cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis, soil transmitted helminths and trachoma. Despite efforts to control these climate sensitive, emerging/reemerging public health treats, their incidence and prevalence is still high. In addition to their impact on the Mozambican population, Americans who travel, work or are deployed to Mozambique or in similar environments elsewhere are at risk for these diseases – both while in those countries and after they return to the US where onward spread can occur. In view of this, we propose to establish a Global Infectious Diseases (GID) research training track in the existing post graduate training programs at Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) in Maputo, Mozambique in partnership with University of California San Diego (UCSD). We will establish a GID PhD research training program at UEM. We will support long-term training of the next generation of Mozambican scientists and highly qualified professionals in GID research methods both through the newly established GID PhD program and through medium- and short-term training in mentored research and professional training in malaria and NTDs. We will also strengthen research administration and program evaluation capacity within Mozambique to enable trainees to become independent researchers with their own research teams.”
