Company Description

Global Health Uganda is a prominent non-profit research organization established in 2010 by a group of Ugandan and American health scientists. Founded by researchers from Makerere University, the University of Minnesota, and Michigan State University, the organization operates as a multi-disciplinary hub. Its primary objective is to provide a collaborative platform and the necessary administrative and physical infrastructure for scientists conducting public health research within Uganda.
The organization’s research is largely centered on child health, neurodevelopment, and targeted clinical interventions. They are particularly well-known for their work in analyzing how severe infections, such as cerebral malaria and HIV, affect the brain and long-term cognitive development of children. To support these efforts, the organization operates specialized facilities, including a dedicated data center and a temperature-controlled laboratory at Mulago National Referral Hospital, which processes clinical samples from across the country.
Beyond its internal studies, Global Health Uganda functions as a specialized grants management center for independent researchers and international collaborators. They provide end-to-end support for external investigators, assisting with local ethical approvals, staff recruitment, financial accountability, and procurement. By bridging the gap between scientific research and operational administration, the center helps local and foreign principal investigators maintain compliance with international funding standards while advancing medical science in the region.
  • Neurocognitive Research: Evaluating brain function and behavioral outcomes in children recovering from severe central nervous system infections.
  • Grants Management: Handling the administrative, financial, and regulatory obligations required by international medical research funders.
  • Specialized Labs: Housing specialized equipment and sterile culture rooms to advance immunology studies in resource-limited settings.
  • Training and Capacity Building: Offering fully funded fellowships and master’s degree sponsorships in fields like biostatistics and immunology.
