The National Institutes of Health (NIH), supported by its Common Fund and participating Institutes, is offering the Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) Collaborative Centers grant. This initiative invites applications from foreign institutions in African countries to develop comprehensive studies on genomic, genetic, and environmental factors contributing to human health and disease across the continent. The grant’s primary purpose is to leverage cutting-edge research tools to deepen understanding of diseases affecting African populations and significantly enhance biomedical research capacity. This involves building vital infrastructure, boosting researchers’ genomic proficiency, and increasing the number of trained professionals. In partnership with the Wellcome Trust, H3Africa aims to foster sustainable research that promotes health and combats disease in Africa.
