The Global Health Sciences (GHS) Project is the Foundation’s five-year pilot project, launched in January 2008. Through this project, the Foundation connected Dr. Conrad Muzoora, a promising young medical researcher from Uganda, with Dr. David Bangsberg, an international leader in HIV treatment strategies based at Harvard Medical School. The goal of the GHS project is to develop a strong core of global health leaders within Sub-Saharan Africa to combat HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases.
