CEPI and the Gates Foundation are launching a network of partners that could provide rapid epidemic modelling to inform response strategies to future infectious disease threats. The network will be known as the Global South Leaders in Epidemic Analytics and Response Network (GS LEARN).
Establishing a collaborative network of Global South leaders in infectious disease modelling will facilitate knowledge sharing and skills development for more effective and equitable disease modelling that ensures that public health decisions are informed by robust, context-specific, and timely modelling evidence.
Call for Proposals for Implementing Partners for GS LEARN
To build the network, CEPI and Gates are seeking experts to offer different upskilling activities and mentorship to researchers and professionals in Global South institutions on epidemic and pandemic data analytics and infectious disease modelling. These experts, known as implementing partners, will equip researchers in the Global South with the required skills to address national, regional and global health challenges, by collaborating on modelling projects, providing work-based learning opportunities and continued mentorship.
