BOTSWANA-RUTGERS PARTNERSHIP FOR HEALTH
Botswana and Rutgers are partnering to improve cancer care and prevention in material ways. A key challenge in Botswana is workforce capacity in the health sector. The Botswana-Rutgers partnership includes efforts to train more clinicians to provide the specialized medical services that are needed in oncology and related fields, such as radiology, pathology, pharmacy, and nursing. Through the use of telementoring, the Botswana-Rutgers partnership will create a virtual extension of the health workforce and enable learning in both directions.

FOCUS AREAS
Across the university’s 29 schools and nearly 300 research centers and institutes, Rutgers faculty have particular strengths in environmental impacts on health, health systems and policies, infectious diseases, noncommunicable diseases, and social determinants of health.
In aligning Rutgers’ strengths with emerging needs in the field of global health, we have identified focus areas to advance collaborative research, education, and service for maximum impact.

GLOBAL HEALTH SEED GRANTS
Each year, with support from Rutgers Global, the Rutgers Global Health Institute awards Global Health Seed Grants to faculty conducting collaborative, interdisciplinary activities that will impact the health of communities at home and around the world.
Through these grants, we aim to help faculty pursue new ideas and to seed expanded research and funding.
The grants are available to Rutgers faculty across all campuses and fields of study, with five projects awarded up to $10,000 each for a one- or two-year period. Each project is awarded in one of two categories: 1) Education, Training, and Capacity Building; and 2) Research.
