Summary

Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) causing rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains a  worldwide cause  of  heart failure, stroke and maternal mortality. Most patients, however, lack a known ARF diagnosis to guide antibiotic prophylaxis in order to prevent recurrent group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. This is partly due to lack of a single laboratory diagnostic test for ARF confirmation. The PRIMA Study (began August, 2024) is a collaborative research of 6

countries worldwide, and aims to identify accurate molecular biomarker(s) for ARF, and design a point-of- care diagnostic test for ARF diagnosis. The goal is to  advance early detection of ARF and therefore prevent  RHD.

We are seeking for a Project Coordinator to join our team and play a critical role in the effective planning, implementation, and monitoring of project activities.

• Liaise with internal teams and external collaborators to ensure alignment of goals.

• Prepare high-quality reports, documentation, and presentations for stakeholders and funders.
• Ensure compliance with ethical, administrative, and donor-related requirements.

Minimum Qualifications and Experience:

• A bachelor degree in Public Health, Health Sciences, Project Management, or a related field (Master’s degree will be an added advantage).
• At least 5 years of work experience in coordinating research or public health projects, with a strong background in monitoring and evaluation.
