Project Description
Mozambique (a country in Africa with the fourth highest HIV prevalence globally) has made good progress in HIV pandemic control, but significant gaps remain.
Leveraging proven leadership and expertise as Mozambique’s lead HIV strategic information partner and a history of highly successful partnerships between the University of Eduardo Mondlane (UEM) and Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), the Vanderbilt- Mozambique Biomedical Informatics (VM-BMI) Training and Research program will increase biomedical informatics (BMI) capacity for HIV research at UEM. Over the course of the five-year project, VM-BMI will train six UEM faculty fellows, ten master’s-level UEM students, and 200 Mozambican workshop and bootcamp participants with an eye towards long-term sustainability.
