International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research (ICEMR)

The ICEMRS are a global network of independent research centers in malaria-endemic settings, established by NIAID to provide the knowledge, tools, and evidence-based strategies crucial to understanding, controlling, and, ultimately, preventing malaria.

Main Areas of Focus 

Each Center aims to:

  • Design and conduct multidisciplinary research on the epidemiology, transmission, and pathogenesis of malaria in its specific region
  • Design and conduct special projects to capitalize on new opportunities and emerging public health needs
  • Build clinical research capacity and improve malaria control and prevention
