Participants have published research findings in journals such as Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Open Journal of Epidemiology, International Journal of Mathematics and Computational Methods in Science and Technology, and Journal of Biological Systems.
Participating students have completed dissertations and theses leading to PhD and MS degrees in mathematics and mathematical biology, and have received appointments to fellowship, postdoc, and faculty positions in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. And program testimonials can be viewed at the NextGen STEM Pathways Foundation.
In 2025, the US-Africa Collaborative Research Network (CRN) consisted of 104 senior research mathematicians and scientists from around the world, 254% of initial number of 41 in 2012 and 26.8% more than 82 in 2019 (when the number had doubled), and we expect this number to continue to grow as a result of our continuing success, publicity, visibility, and recruiting efforts. Fifty-six of the researchers are from Sub-Saharan Africa, with 49 of them from the SAMSA region and 23 from South Africa; 40 are from North and South America, with 36 of them from US; 2 are from Asia; and the remaining 6 are from Europe.
Participants hail from 64 colleges and universities (including 3 HBCUs as well as private and public liberal arts and research institutions) and research centers/ institutes/ national laboratories/organizations forming a total of 8 research groups: 3 in Pure Mathematics: (1) Algebra and Geometry, (2) Analysis and Topology, and (3) Discrete Mathematics (Graph Theory, Coding Theory, and Information Theory); and 5 in Applied Mathematics: (1) Biostatistics, (2) Health Economics, (3) Mathematical Biology (4) Mathematics of Finance, and (5) Numerical Analysis
