Geo-enabled detect and respond system for antimalarial resistance in Ghana: GDRS - Ghana

**Recipient:** INSTITUTE OF HUMAN VIROLOGY

**Award Amount:** $104,111.00
**Ceiling:** $104,111.00

**Awarded:** September 18, 2025

**Identifier:** 3U01TW012531-04S1

This award supports the development of an integrated genomic and geospatial surveillance system in Ghana to detect and respond to antimalarial resistance. The project leverages advanced sequencing and data integration to improve early detection and public health response, with relevance to U.S. infectious disease preparedness.

### Description

The project focuses on digital genomic surveillance for arboviral diseases and malaria resistance. It aims to strengthen genomic and geospatial surveillance systems in West Africa, with implications for public health in the U.S. The project will geo-enable Ghana's malaria genomic surveillance network to monitor molecular markers of antimalarial resistance and integrate epidemiologic, genomic, and operational data to guide intervention response and decision-making.
