The fellowship provides $50,000 in funding to support mentorship, career, and leadership development projects.

It’s designed to support early-to-mid-career researchers, particularly those in low and lower-middle-income countries, with a focus on fostering leadership in tropical medicine and global health.

With over a decade of experience in malaria epidemiology, biostatistics, and geo-spatial modelling, Dr. Amratia has established herself as a leader in the field, contributing significantly to the understanding and mapping of malaria risk and burden.

Through her work, she has provided essential technical support to both malaria elimination settings using multi-metric approaches and WHO High Burden High Impact countries, leveraging household surveys and routine surveillance data to enhance malaria control and elimination strategies.

Dr Amratia recently relocated to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania from Perth to help build the local research team and drive enhanced technical support to malaria programs in the region.

She will be awarded the fellowship at the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene annual meeting in New Orleans.

The Alan Magill Fellowship was established to honour the life, legacy, and impactful work of Dr. Alan J. Magill, a revered figure in the global tropical medicine community.
