- Science_Initiative_Group abstract "The Science Initiative Group (SIG) is dedicated to fostering science in developing countries. Formed in 1999 to provide scientific and administrative oversight for the Millennium Science Initiative (MSI), SIG is governed by a six-member board consisting of three scientists from developing countries, two leading U.S. scientists and an entrepreneur. SIG is administered by a small staff based at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Its Executive Director is Arlen Hastings, who co-founded SIG in 1998 with board members Griffiths, Hexner, Kim, Palis and Rao.Since 2008, SIG's attention has been devoted primarily to development and implementation of the Regional Initiative in Science and Education (RISE). RISE prepares PhD- and MSc-level scientists and engineers in sub-Saharan Africa through university-based research and teaching networks in selected disciplines. Its primary purpose is to strengthen science research and education in sub-Saharan Africa by increasing the population of qualified academic staff in the region’s universities. RISE's broader goal is to build capacity in science, technology and innovation to stimulate economic development in sub-Saharan Africa.In a 2008 competition that attracted 48 proposals from 29 African countries, 5 networks were selected by an international panel of distinguished scientists. Since the project's launch, 26 women and 62 men have earned one or more degrees through RISE, and the majority of the graduates are employed in academic positions at African universities or in scientific industries, working on projects relevant to Africa’s development. There are currently 37 women and 65 men pursuing degrees through RISE.The five RISE networks are:AMSEN: African Materials Science and Engineering Network involving: University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa; University of Nairobi, Kenya; University of Namibia; Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria; University of Botswana; University of GhanaRISE-AFNNET: African Natural Products Network involving: Makerere University, Uganda; University of Nairobi, Kenya; Sokoine University of Agriculture, TanzaniaSABINA: Southern African Biochemistry and Informatics for Natural Products Network involving: University of Malawi, Chancellor College; University of Namibia; University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; University of Pretoria, South Africa; University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa; CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research), South Africa; Tea Research Foundation of Central Africa, MalawiSSAWRN: Sub-Saharan Africa Water Resources Network including: Rhodes University, South Africa; Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique; University of Botswana; Makerere University, UgandaWIO-RISE: Western Indian Ocean Regional Initiative including: Institute of Marine Sciences, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; School of Marine & Coastal Sciences, Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique; Oceanography Department, University of Cape Town, South AfricaThe African Mathematics Millennium Science Initiative (AMMSI) became a RISE Affiliate Network in July 2014.Established by SIG in 2004 with pilot funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, AMMSI is a network of mathematics research and training, with emphases on graduate education and applied mathematics. Among its activities, AMMSI runs the Mentoring African Research in Mathematics (MARM) program. The network comprises six regional offices that together serve the entire continent: Yaoundé, Cameroon (Central Africa); Nairobi, Kenya (Eastern Africa); Gaborone, Botswana (Southern Africa); Ibadan, Nigeria (Anglophone Western Africa); Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso (Francophone Western Africa); and Rabat, Morocco (North Africa).SIG's work has been supported by grants from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and Carnegie Corporation of New York.".
