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 Institutions for GS LEARN
CEPI and Gates launched a call for proposals in January 2025 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 institutions, 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.
Applications to the Call for Proposals are now closed.
Updates on GS LEARN
As GS LEARN grows Implementing Institutions and other relevant information will be shared here.
