Strengthening Health and Disease Modelling for Public Health Decision Making in Africa by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Wellcome are now accepting proposals.
Local modeling expertise is critical to effective public health decision making, and the community of modelers across Africa is growing. With this in mind, the Gates Foundation and Wellcome recently co-hosted a workshop with over 100 African modelers and other stakeholders to discuss how to strengthen the public health modeling ecosystem on the continent. This request for proposals was shaped by the themes of those discussions
The Gates Foundation and Wellcome are collaborating on the program, but individual grants will be funded either by the Gates Foundation or by Wellcome. Each organization’s thematic areas of focus, specific eligibility criteria, and budgetary limits differ.

- Funding proposals of up to £3,000,000 GBP for each award for a duration of 3-5 years.
- Proposals must demonstrate that at least 70% of the funding is going to low-and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions with at least 50% of the funding going to African institutions.
