Overview
The CAP Foundation’s Global Pathology Development Grant was created to improve global health and the science and expansion of pathology and pathology services. It offers up to $10,000 USD in funding to support impactful, sustainable, and accretive global (international) projects that develop, expand, and sustain the delivery of pathology services through education/training, patient care, laboratory quality, or enhanced technology and laboratory diagnostics.
The grant provides funding to support organizations and individuals who are working with limited budgets and have active programs promoting pathology services in under-resourced areas across the globe.
Applications will be reviewed for merit and alignment of the project goals with the intent of the grant. Focus areas may include innovative community health, public education, or service initiatives aimed at:
Programs supporting the provision of technical guidance and support for labs regarding selection of lab tests, lab supplies and equipment.
Helping laboratory sites with development of standard operating procedures, budgets, evaluating current capacity, and expansion plans.
Technical expansion – upgrading pathology technologies to meet quality and international standards.
Systems strengthening – systems to appropriately operate and maintain the laboratory, eg, initiatives such as the Stepwise Laboratory Improvement Process Towards Accreditation program
Local Capacity Building – continued education of pathologists, residents, and laboratory staff to build local pathology capacity.
Innovative programs supporting the practice of anatomic and/or clinical pathology including the expansion of services
Exploratory meetings and forums conducive to networking with professionals on international pathology or laboratory quality issues.
