GEN-IMPACT Sub-study Hosting Expression of Interest

Hosting GEN-IMPACT sub-studies within APCC cohorts

Science for Africa Foundation

First-stage EOI to identify African cohort platforms and African-led teams capable of hosting cohort-embedded GEN-IMPACT sub-studies.

This call is closed. The deadline was 14 August 2026. The page stays online for reference. Check the funder's official page for the next cycle.

What it funds

  • Cohort-embedded genomic and population-health sub-studies within the APCC ecosystem
  • Work linking genomic information with phenotypic, environmental and longitudinal data

Is this a fit?

Apply if

  • You represent or work with an eligible cohort, or an African-led research team/consortium
  • The team has relevant genomics, population health, bioinformatics, clinical, epidemiological, ethical or implementation expertise
  • You can support a cohort-embedded sub-study

Skip it if

  • You are seeking a conventional individual investigator grant with no cohort platform or collaboration

The Methods Bench take

Best suited for
Established African cohort platforms and multidisciplinary teams already positioned for embedded population-genomics research.
The main hurdle
This is a hosting/collaboration EOI rather than a standard stand-alone grant.
Start early on
Cohort readiness, governance, team roles, data availability and collaboration arrangements.
Watch out for
Do not market this as a general genomics grant for individual applicants.

Before you start, check

  • Confirm cohort/APCC eligibility
  • Confirm African leadership
  • Map available longitudinal and phenotypic data
  • Confirm governance and ethics readiness
