Makerere University Walter Reed Project
Makerere University Walter Reed Project (MUWRP) is a non-profit biomedical research organization whose mission is to mitigate disease threats through quality research, health care, and disease surveillance. MUWRP was established in 2002 by a Memorandum of Agreement between The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc. and Makerere University to undertake medical research to test HIV vaccines. Over the years, MUWRP’s program portfolio has progressively expanded to include HIV treatment, care, and prevention; vaccine research for Ebola and Marburg viruses; Infectious Diseases Program (EIDP) for surveillance of influenza and influenza-like viruses and other emerging infections in humans and animals.
