Malaria Interest Group
The Malaria Interest Group (MIG) brings together scientists, professionals and trainees who share an interest in global prevention and control of malaria.
The major objectives of the MIG include:
- Share ideas, expertise, and findings pertinent to use-inspired malaria research from laboratory and field investigations.
- Facilitate discussions on innovative approaches to clinical trial design and monitoring of programmatic impact on malaria morbidity and mortality.
- Disseminate knowledge of novel detection technologies and strategies, vaccines, and other preventive and therapeutic interventions, including malaria parasite vector control.
- Promote cross-governmental strategic collaborations and activities that contribute to malaria control and prevention.
MIG convenes virtually or in hybrid meetings approximately every three months as feasible. Annual in-person meetings and mini-symposia are convened, as circumstances permit. MIG is housed at the NIH, but is open to all USG scientists, professionals and trainees who share an interest in use-inspired research and programmatic approaches relevant to malaria control and prevention. This cross-agency working group is formally called the Federal Malaria Research Network (FMRN).
Malaria Interest Group Listserv is located and managed through the NIH Intramural Program. Participation in MIG through the Listserv is open to those employed by NIH or sister USG agencies under mechanisms that require confidentiality of non-public information.
