      "The project aims to improve nutrition for the poorest and most marginalized in Ghana, Malawi and Pakistan, especially women, adolescent girls, and children. In all three countries, women, adolescent girls and children represent a disproportionate number impacted by malnutrition due to various biological and socio-cultural factors, including poverty, gender inequality, and community norms. The project expects to deliver targeted, integrated nutrition, health, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programming to build sustainable institutional capacity across the continuum of care and impro",
      "P000710001: This project aims to reduce death and illness among newborns and children in underserved districts in Ghana. By expanding paediatric nurse programs, this project seeks to build the professional skills of paediatric nurses and health workers to provide quality, cost-effective, evidence-based nursing and midwifery care to newborns and children. Project activities include: (1) establishing three new training institutions for paediatric nursing specialist programs and continuing professional development courses; (2) developing standardized curricula for the paediatric nursing speciali",

They will scale to new populations and locations to strengthen the gender-based violence sector by (1) expanding services to children with neurodevelopmental disorders/disabilities and psychiatric complexity who have experienced sex trafficking and those at risk; and (2) assessing the need for and feasibility of adapting the community response protocol as an e-learning",
      "Myotubular myopathy is a severe congenital disorder marked by muscle weakness and hypotonia due to mutations in the MTM1 gene, which encodes myotubularin. This protein is crucial for muscle cell maintenance and repair, and its deficiency disrupts these processes, causing significant muscle dysfunction. Current treatments are symptomatic and fail to address the genetic cause, necessitating therapies that target the root of the disease. Gene therapy, particularly with viral vectors, shows promise but has limitations such as immune responses and high costs. Recent safety setbacks in AAV8-M",
