MalariaGEN Call for Applications: Procurement grants for laboratories in malaria endemic countries
MalariaGEN had opened a Procurement grant with the aim to support laboratories in malaria endemic countries with the procurement of equipment and specialist reagents and consumables that could not reasonably be purchased through existing local distribution channels. MalariaGEN is pleased to work with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to address the challenges of global supply chains and improve research capacity for genomic surveillance of malaria.
How does the grant work?
This grant is intended to cover the costs of equipment and specialist reagents and consumables. Shipment costs to laboratories will also be included. Once an application has been approved, MalariaGEN will organise procurement of the item(s) through approved suppliers. Items will be shipped directly to the recipient stated on the application. As a result, there will be no need for reimbursements.
Who can apply?
Principal Investigators undertaking genomic surveillance of malaria with data generated in a malaria endemic country can apply. You do not need to be a MalariaGEN partner, but should be at least partially funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, either directly or through a MalariaGEN partnership.
How do I apply?
You will need to justify your request and provide an estimated budget. Any quotes obtained should be submitted to support the application.
For guidance, the fund available for 2023 is approximately $175,000 and is intended to be used across multiple grantees.
