Our aim is to help faculty pursue new ideas and seed expanded research and funding. Grants are awarded in one of two categories: 1) Education, Training, and Capacity Building or 2) Research. Because global health places a priority on health equity, rather than on geographic location, the Global Health Seed Grants program is designed to address health disparities anywhere in the world, including Rutgers’ surrounding communities.
Past seed grant awards have supported efforts in New Brunswick and Newark , New Jersey, as well as in Brazil , Indonesia , Kenya , Nepal , and Uganda , among other locations .
Brief descriptions of all projects funded by Global Health Seed Grants are available at these links: Education, Training, and Capacity Building projects Education, Training, and Capacity Building Projects Enhancing Perioperative Care in Ghana: A Collaborative Capacity-Building Initiative Project Lead: Edward Lee, Associate Professor, Clinical Division Chief, Residency Program Director, Division of Plastic Surgery; Associate Professor of Surgery, New Jersey Medical School This project aims to improve surgical outcomes at Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital in Ghana by addressing critical gaps in preoperative and postoperative care.
High rates of surgical site infections (SSIs), significantly above global averages, highlight the need for improved training and resources. The team will conduct a needs assessment and develop a hybrid educational program combining virtual modules with in-person workshops focused on wound care and infection prevention. A train-the-trainer model will empower local physicians to sustain and expand the program long-term.
By strengthening collaboration between U.S.-based surgeons and Ghanaian healthcare providers, this initiative advances sustainable capacity building and global health equity.
