	U. S. National Academies receive $20 million to help African science academies - oemagazine
		Washington, D.C. 21 April 2004 -- The U.S. National Academies have received a $20 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help African academies of science strengthen their ability to provide evidence-based advice to inform government policy-making and public discourse.
		But because most of these groups have been in existence for only a few decades or less, they have limited experience in providing policy guidance and marshaling national scientific and medical communities to examine important issues.
		For example, some of the funds will be used to train staff members of the academies to plan and conduct scientific studies and major conferences that offer policy guidance; raise and manage money from outside sources; tap useful information technology; and cultivate relationships with government officials and other stakeholders in their countries.
