Notice from MUWRP

Background:

Makerere University Walter Reed Pr oject (MUWRP) is a non-profi t biomedical research organization, whose mission is to mitigate disease threats through quality research, health care and disease surveillance. MUWRP was established in 2002 by a Memorandum of Agreement between The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc. (HJF) and Makerere University (Mak) to undertake medical research to test HIV vaccines. Over the years, MUWRP's portfolio has progressively expanded to include vaccine research for Ebola and Marburg viruses, surveillance of infl uenza and infl uenza-like viruses and other emerging infections in humans and animals, epidemiological and basic research and implementation research in HIV treatment, care and prevention programs in the districts of Kayunga, Mukono, Buvuma and Buikwe. Recently, MUWRP has further expanded her portfolio to support the Joint Mobile Disease Intervention Clinical Capability (JMEDICC) that will enable the conduct of clinical trials during future fi lovirus outbreaks providing a mechanism to accelerate the development of appropriate medical countermeasures (MCM). CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON THIS NOTICE
