Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) at NIH

The Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) Initiative is a partnership between NIH, the African Society of Human Genetics, and the Wellcome Trust through the Alliance for Accelerating Science in Africa (AESA). The H3Africa consortium facilitates fundamental research into diseases on the African continent while also developing infrastructure, resources, training and ethical guidelines to support a sustainable African research enterprise - led by African scientists, for the African people. Many Institutes and Center across NIH have partnered to support H3Africa, and NIH leadership on the Initiative comes from the NIH Common Fund, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and Fogarty.
