Malaria Modelling Fellowship

Build your modelling capacity in a partially funded fellowship designed around your routine work and providing in-demand skills to inform malaria and infectious disease control in Nigeria and globally.

Mathematical modelling is an important tool in the field of infectious disease control. It includes formulating mathematical equations to explain how infectious diseases propagate through populations. Researchers can learn more about how diseases spread and how various preventative strategies may affect disease transmission by examining these models.

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 Gates Foundation, 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 Organization (WHO).
