As part of our mission to improve the health and well-being of women, adolescents, and children, we provide Seeds for Change Awards <\/strong>that empower local front-line care providers to identify targets for clinical improvement, compete for support, and advocate for their patients.<\/p>\n These awards improve the patient experiences in limited and middle-income countries by improving clinical care, patient satisfaction, workforce empowerment, and health service delivery for programs benefiting WACh health.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Proposals must address unmet needs and improve the experience of women, adolescents, and children receiving healthcare services. Potential topics may include but are not restricted<\/em> to the following:<\/u><\/p>\n Proposals that will not be considered: Applicants must be employed by a current UW partnering organization (defined as an entity engaged in joint activities with UW faculty or staff) in a resource-limited setting and<\/u><\/strong> is a staff or faculty member working in a health program\/clinical setting serving WACh populations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Awards of up to $1,500 USD are available.
