Applications are now open for the 2025 Malaria Modelling Fellowship. The Nigeria Malaria Modelling Fellowship (MMF) is an initiative to build the mathematical modelling capacity of public health professionals in Nigeria. The Fellowship will expose participants to a comprehensive curriculum that includes core modelling content, in-depth knowledge of malaria epidemiology including transmission dynamics, and adjunct modules crucial to enhancing their careers and equipping them with in-demand modelling competence. Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the Fellowship is a collaborative effort between Corona Management Systems (CMS), National Malaria Elimination Programme(NMEP), Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC), and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Objective
The fellowship objectives are
- To increase the number of doctoral and post-doctoral level trained mathematical modelers with malaria expertise based at Nigerian institutions by August 2025
- To increase the capacity of the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP) on modelling approaches as a tool that can support strategic planning and evaluation by August 2025
- Increase the capacity of the Nigeria Field Epidemiology Training Programme (NFETP) to provide modelling fellowship by August 2025.
