What we do

To fulfil our aims of improving malaria research capacity in Africa, we have focused efforts in five key areas:

• A PhD programme for African scientists registered at one of five African Universities, undertaking research within Africa.
• Institutional support to our five African partner institutions to help them better support the training of malaria researchers, and of researchers more widely.
• Support to postdoctoral fellows trained under the Gates Malaria Partnership (GMP) through our MCDC Investigator programme.
• A Personal Development Planning (PDP) programme to support all MCDC students and any MCDC investigators wishing to be a part of the scheme
• A Mentorship programme to provide continued research career development support for MCDC investigators.
