CDC Foundation — Malaria Control Research Project (2021)

[Human Health and Wellbeing] Grant Investigators: Chris Somerville and Heather Youngs This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigators. CDC Foundation staff also reviewed this page prior to publication. Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $672,500 over two years to the CDC Foundation to support research on malaria control. The funding will be used to support work on the cryopreservation of mosquito larvae and embryos, as well as the artificial insemination of female mosquitoes. If successful, this work would make it easier for researchers to maintain different strains of mosquitoes and would advance the state of malaria control research. This follows our October 2018 support and falls within our work on scientific research, specifically within our interest in advancing human health and wellbeing.
