Requests for Proposals
Request for Proposals - Meningitis Modelling Group
The Consortium has opened a new Request for Proposals (RfP).​
The Consortium seeks to recruit one new group to evaluate the impact of meningitis A / MMCV in the 26 countries of the African meningitis belt. Applications from LMIC-based modelling groups will be given priority, with preference given to those in countries experiencing a high burden of meningitis. Up to USD $73,000 per year is available in funding. The new group will join the consortium from early 2025 to August 2027. The primary funder of this work is Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.
Eligibility
​
-
Applicants must be based at a university or another academic/research institution.

-
Prior modelling experience is essential; models must already be developed and in use.
