This NIH grant aims to support foreign institutions in African countries to advance the study of genomic/genetic/environmental factors influencing human health and disease in African populations. The grant will facilitate the utilization of cutting-edge research tools to enhance understanding of health issues and diseases specific to Africa. Additionally, it will bolster biomedical research capacity by developing infrastructure, improving genomic proficiency of researchers, and increasing the number of trainees. In collaboration with the Wellcome Trust, the H3Africa initiative endeavors to foster sustainable research in Africa that contributes to improved health outcomes and disease prevention.
