Grantor Contact InformationContact: Teresa Stoepler, Responsible Staff Officers: John Boright, Teresa Stoepler, Additional Project Staff: Stacey KozlouskiGrantor Emailtstoepler@nas.eduOther Grantor InformationThe National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide independent, objective advice to inform policy with evidence, spark progress and innovation, and confront challenging issues for the benefit of society. They are comprised of three academies: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Medicine. The organization convenes hundreds of conferences, workshops, and symposia annually, bringing together leading experts from academia, public, and private sectors. Their work focuses on providing high-quality, evidence-based consensus on complex scientific, engineering, and health-related challenges. They produce peer-reviewed reports, publish scientific journals, and serve as a trusted source of expert advice for policymaking. The National Academies mobilize approximately 6,000 top experts each year who volunteer their time and knowledge to conduct policy studies, workshops, and other activities aimed at addressing critical issues facing the nation and world.

Additional InformationThe program has been carried out using a phased approach. Early activities have included training for academy staff, establishing contacts with appropriate government agencies and other organizations, fundraising, and implementing a variety of convening and consensus-based activities on subjects selected by the African academy in consultation with its government.
