Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, together with several other of the university’s schools, will now apply social entrepreneurship and innovation to some of the most pressing global health challenges thanks to a $10 million award from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the school announced earlier this month.
With the USAID funding, which was awarded on Thursday, November 15th, Fuqua’s Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship (CASE) will partner with the International Partnership for Innovative Healthcare Delivery (IPIHD) at Duke Medicine and the Duke Global Health Institute to establish the Social Entrepreneurship Accelerator at Duke (SEAD). SEAD’s mission will be to serve as a global health development lab that can identify and help address global health challenges in low- and middle-income countries. Faculty from the Duke Center for Science Education, Sanford School of Public Policy, the Department of Economics and elsewhere across Duke also will serve as advisors for the initiative.
