Projects

Improving maternal and neonatal health by strengthening nurse mentoring programs implemented by partners in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, India.

The Preterm Birth Initiative (PTBi), a partnership between Lynne and Marc Benioff, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), offers a unique opportunity to apply scientific, clinical, and community expertise to address the growing problem of prematurity.

The PTBi East Africa Discovery Research portfolio contributes to global knowledge about preterm birth and supports testing of tools to improve preterm birth prevention and management. 

PTBi offers a two-year transdisciplinary post-doctoral fellowship focused on reducing disparities in preterm birth and improving maternal and neonatal outcomes. 

Virtual Mentor is a hands-free decision-support chatbot that engages the health worker in an algorithmic, audible conversation through the most efficient and effective response to a crisis. 

The overall goal of USAID Sustaining Technical and Analytic Resources (STAR) is to strengthen the capacity of global health professionals and organizations, so they can implement stronger programs, achieve better results, and make a bigger impact in the global health field.
