Reply-To GCMedia@gatesfoundation.org
Dear Colleague
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Wellcome have launched a new request for proposals, "Strengthening Health and Disease Modelling for Public Health Decision Making in Africa."
https//gcgh.grandchallenges.org/challenge/strengthening-health-and-disease-modeling-public-health-decision-making-africa
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.
We seek to support modelling projects that answer important public health questions, that are actionable enough to result in policies that improve people’s health, and that strengthen the African modelling ecosystem by developing new approaches and tools or connecting modelers and policymakers across countries and institutions.
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, and applicants should consult the request for proposals and indicate to which organization they are making their proposal.
Applications are due by 1130 AM. PST on October 23, 2023. Click this link for more detailed information.

Sincerely,
The Global Partnerships & Grand Challenges team
