Congratulations to CGN’s 2026-2027 Global Nursing Research Seed Award Recipients

Seed Awardees

We are excited to announce this year’s awardees of the CGN Global Nursing Research Seed Award, which supports UCSF nurses, advanced practice providers, and the CGN’s Global Nursing Advisory Council members and their global partners in advancing global health. These projects address health disparities through nurse-led research and quality-improvement initiatives. This year’s awardees exemplify clinical inquiry, global collaboration, and a commitment to integrating research into practice.

We’re excited to highlight the selected projects that are advancing global nurse-led research:

• Health-Risk Behavior Profiles Among Swedish Adolescents in Jönköping County: Identifying Latent Classes and Examining Associations with SGM Status and Minority Stress

• Exploring Patient and Provider Perspectives on Integrating Nurse-Led Mental Health Services into HIV Care in Rural Rwanda

• Impact of Routine Fogging and Ozone Sterilization on Surgical Site Infections at Muhimbili National Hospital

• Development and Pilot Testing of the Technology-Based Qigong Used for Inadequate Hypertension Intervention for Korean Immigrants

• Frequent Ward Rotations on Nurse Competence From Critical Care Nurses’ Perspectives

We look forward to seeing the lasting impact these nurse-led projects will have on communities around the world! Learn more about these innovative projects on our website.
