This NIH grant is for establishing Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) Collaborative Centers within African countries. The primary purpose is to significantly advance the study of genomic, genetic, and environmental factors contributing to human health and disease across the continent. Supported by the NIH Common Fund, this initiative seeks to enhance biomedical research capacity throughout Africa by developing crucial infrastructure, including data and resource systems, and by substantially increasing the genomic proficiency of local researchers and trainees. This collaborative endeavor, partnered with the Wellcome Trust, aims to foster sustainable research that will promote health and combat prevalent diseases in Africa using advanced genomic tools.
