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

Background

Recognizing the urgent need for a multidisciplinary approach to malaria research, in 2010, NIAID established the International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research (ICEMRs) to address the complex interactions at the molecular, cellular, and field levels in malaria-endemic regions.
