This RFA is an open call for researchers engaged in health research from all recognised South African research institutions for the establishment of new SAMRC Extramural Research Units (EMUs). These new EMUs should provide scientific leadership in key research areas and conduct research where important research questions cannot easily be addressed through short-term grants.

This call is aimed at harnessing the core scientific strengths and infrastructure of South Africa and partners to advance the development of improved HIV prevention, testing, and therapeutic options in the country. Local manufacturing of interventions needs to be a key consideration to reduce the reliance on imports.

The Human Frontier Science Program Organization, in collaboration with its South African members, the South African Medical Research Council and the National Research Foundation, invites applications for the following HFSP funding opportunities for 2026: HFSP Research Grants; HFSP Postdoctoral Fellowships; HFSP Awardees Meeting
