Expressions of interest are now being taken from institutions in low- and middle-income countries to assume the responsibility for the leadership, management and hosting of the TropIKA.net initiative. The WHO Department of Knowledge Management and Sharing (KMS) and the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) are transitioning out the managerial responsibility.
Interested candidate institutions are invited to send a proposal and required documentation by 30 October 2012.

The selected institution will be expected to:

1. Lead, manage and host the TropIKA.net initiative;
2. Establish and coordinate a partnership with research institutions in low and middle income countries (LMIC) to run TropIKA.net;
3. Promote and raise funds for the sustainability of TropIka.net.
