Strengthening Country-Led Cholera Modeling for Evidence-Based Policy Decisions

A targeted grant RFP to fund consortia that leverage in-country disease modeling capacity to analyze subnational cholera surveillance data and inform policy decisions. The initiative seeks projects that enhance local modeling capacity, produce policy-relevant analyses and briefs, and foster multi-country coordination and sustainable data-to-decision processes. Awards support up to three-year projects and are intended to strengthen collaboration between modelers and government decision-makers.

Grant funding up to $500,000 USD per project for up to 3 years; expectation to participate in cohort meetings and present methods and insights; policy-focused fellowship resources for policy leads supported separately.

Open to nonprofit organizations, for-profit companies, government institutes and academic institutions that are based in one of the listed cholera-impacted countries and that have existing relationships with government decision-makers and access to cholera surveillance data. The RFP was open only to institutions invited directly by email and no more than one award will be given to a single institution.

Application by invited institutions following the RFP; applicants should consult the Rules and Guidelines, Application Instructions and FAQs and submit a proposal consistent with the RFP requirements.
