We look for partner institutions in the US

In case someone new to this blog arrives to this post, let me introduce ourselves. The Kampala International University is a non-for-profit private tertiary institution with base in Uganda. It has campuses in Kampala (capital of Uganda), Ishaka (Western Uganda) and Dar-es-Salam (largest city in Tanzania). The person typing the keys is the director of the Institute of Biomedical Research that KIU recently created at the School of Health Sciences in Ishaka.

Our efforts are focussed in providing facilities, training and support to local researchers so they can develop their research agendas aimed to alleviate Africa’s disease burden. In these efforts, we are open to collaborations with any institution that values the social impact that science and scientists can have. their role in the development of low and middle income countries. Below you can find information about a call that could help us pursue our goals together with yours.
