The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), invites applications to participate in a research program that will provide a multidisciplinary approach that integrates clinical and field aspects with laboratory, molecular and genomic methods for malaria control and prevention. The objective of the International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research (ICEMR) program is to create a group of research centers in malaria-endemic settings that will provide the necessary knowledge, tools, and evidence-based strategies to support intervention and control programs of government organizations and health care institutions. Ultimately, such a broad-based, multidisciplinary and integrated approach is expected to enhance the research underpinnings for effective malaria elimination and possibly eradication. Data and findings generated by these Centers are expected to provide input critical to inform future research design and evaluation of new interventions and control strategies.
