"malERA" was a project carried out by the scientific community to identify the steps and future research that must be done in order to eradicate malaria.
Much of the organization is hosted by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, and the Alliance is funded by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
These projects tend to fall within three categories: Health Systems' Readiness, Measurement of Transmission, and Operational research.
These projects include: new tools for vector control and diagnosis, use of monitoring and response mapping technologies, and mobile applications for hard to reach populations.
This project examines 6 different subjects: "basic science and enabling technologies, insecticide and drug resistance, characterizing the reservoir and measuring transmission, tools for elimination, combination interventions and modeling, health systems and policy research."
