| | Global Health Community Highlights | | CGH Director of Global Nursing, Mary Sebert's Retirement | | |
It is with both deep gratitude and genuine wistfulness that we announce the upcoming retirement of Mary Sebert, RN, MSN, MPH, Director of Global Nursing at the MGH Center for Global Health.
Mary joined the MGH Center for Global Health in 2015, following years of living and working in Romania and Uganda, and has spent nearly 12 years at MGH -- more than six of them leading our Global Nursing program. In that time, she has become a cornerstone of this Center and a mentor to countless nurses around the world.
Among her many contributions, Mary was instrumental in launching the Global Nursing Fellowship Program in 2016, where she led almost 50 training exchanges with 40 nurses across five African countries as well as on two South Dakotan Indian reservations. She created the Nurse Leadership Program to build capacity and elevate the professionalism of the field; she has led more than 20 courses, training over 250 nurses as leaders, who in turn have influenced their institutions, peers, trainees, and cared for thousands of patients. Under her leadership, these programs grew into a model for peer-to-peer mentorship and train-the-trainer education, helping build nursing leadership and clinical capacity in communities that need it most. Her influence can be seen in hospital policies, best practices, and nursing leadership worldwide.
Mary's work took her from Mbarara University of Science and Technology in Uganda, where she served as a visiting lecturer and leadership mentor to nursing faculty, to migrant clinics at the U.S./Mexico border and to the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Reservations in her home state of South Dakota. Wherever she went, she has carried the same conviction: that quality education and continued professional development are the surest ways to strengthen and empower nurses globally.
With more than 40 years as a nurse -- including time as a critical care director and in hospital home care -- Mary has brought a rare combination of clinical depth, cultural humility, and true heart to everything she has done here. She has represented MGB and this Center at international nursing conferences, in partnerships with organizations like Seed Global Health, Partners In Health, and the Peace Corps, and in countless conversations that quietly shaped the next generation of nursing leaders worldwide.
Mary’s expertise in emergency response and humanitarian settings was critical in responding to COVID-19 at home in Boston when her skills were tapped to support the establishment of an isolation center in Revere. Mary’s role as nurse manager allowed her to apply her global skills locally. Her humanitarianism led her to participate in clinical care response for COVID-19 not only in Revere, but also in Uganda, Pine Ridge, and on the Navajo Nation, always centering the elevation of nursing clinical care and leadership in her work.
Mary’s seemingly boundless good nature, care for the details, and interest in the individual will be sorely missed, but she is leaving a legacy of systems and structures for global health in her profession.
Mary's last day as Director will be October 31st, though she will continue in a consulting role through the end of the year as we seek a successor. We will miss Mary's steady leadership, her wisdom, her friendship, and her warmth more than words can say. We are certain that you will join us in thanking her for everything she has given to this Center, to MGH, and to nurses around the world, and in wishing her a retirement as rich and meaningful as the career she is closing.
| | MGB Global Disaster Response and Humanitarian Action Team Deployment to Venezuela In Response to Devastating Earthquakes | | |
Following two devastating earthquakes in north-central Venezuela, MGB Global Disaster Response and Humanitarian Action team members were deployed to lead critical field operations alongside international partners, all in a region already grappling with a complex humanitarian crisis. Operating out of International Medical Corps’ Type 1 field hospital in La Guaira, Lindsey Martin, DNP, MSN, RN, AGACNP, (MGH Center for Global Health) served as Medical Lead, and Jacquelyn Nally, RN (Newton-Wellesley Hospital) served as Medical Operations Manager, managing everything from high-volume emergency consultations to clinical protocols and supply chains for 100-150 patients daily.
The power of MGB’s network was on full display when the team cross-coordinated with MGB colleague Dr. Nellie Darling, deployed separately with Team Rubicon, to successfully dispatch an ambulance for a pregnant patient with severe pre-eclampsia to reach a specialized labor and delivery center. As international deployments in the region wrapped up, care was safely transitioned to a local team of Venezuelan clinicians who will maintain operations through October 2026.
| | Highlights from the 9th AFREhealth Annual Conference 2026, Uganda | | The 9th AFREhealth Annual Conference was held from August 24-26th at Speke Resort Munyonyo in Kampala, Uganda. Hosted by the Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST), the theme this year was From Innovation to Impact: Strengthening Health Education, Research, and Service Delivery for a Resilient Africa. | | The 9th AFREhealth Conference brought together over 300 researchers, educators, health professionals, policymakers, students, development partners, and health-system leaders from across Africa and beyond to share research, innovations, experiences, and approaches for strengthening health education, research, and health-service delivery. | | The Center for Global Health (CGH) supported the participation of four participants at the conference: Annet Kembabazi, CEO, GHC Research Collaboration; Gerald Mwebembezi, Research Assistant, Dementia Study; Christine Ngabirano, PC PACO Project and Josephine Najuma, Nursing Department. | | |
The Prime Minister of Uganda, Rt. Hon. Robinah Nabbanja (left), who officially opened the conference, emphasized the importance of African-led research, innovation, collaboration, and investment in health professions education and resilient health systems in order to translate knowledge into improved health outcomes across the continent.
| | |
AFREhealth provided sponsors and partners with opportunities to exhibit their work through
designated exhibition spaces as well as other conference visibility options. CGH utilized this opportunity through a CGH exhibition table, showcasing the work undertaken through CGH’s global health partnerships, particularly our contributions in innovation, research, clinical care, health education, training, mentorship, and capacity strengthening across Africa.
Annet Kembabazi pitched the broader financial and technical contribution of CGH to global health across Africa, highlighting CGH’s support in innovation, research, clinical care, and education. She placed particular emphasis on the contribution of CGH to MUST and Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH), highlighting how the partnership has supported research capacity, health professions education, clinical services, training, mentorship, infrastructure, and institutional development.
| | |
In recognition of its contribution to the successful organization of the conference, AFREhealth presented CGH with an Award of
Appreciation for its financial support. The recognition shows the value AFREhealth places on CGH’s contribution to advancing health education, research, collaboration, and capacity strengthening in Africa. The conference as a whole demonstrated the importance of continued investment in African-led health research, education, clinical care, and innovation. The next AFREhealth Annual Conference will be hosted in Botswana in 2027, providing another opportunity to learn, network, and showcase the innovations undertaken to improve health care outcomes.

Josephine Najjuma, MSN, RN, PhD Candidate, Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST), represented the MGB Center for Global Health Nursing's Trauma Nursing Fundamentals (TNF) program at AFREhealth 2026 in Kampala, Uganda. The TNF program was highlighted in the plenary panel, Beyond Aid: Building Sustainable Global Health Models, which shared TNF’s evolution since 2022 toward a locally-led model centered on training-of-trainers, contextual adaptation, and building sustainable emergency and trauma nursing capacity in Eastern Africa.
Importantly, the panel created an opportunity to shape broader strategic thinking around sustainable, pan-African health systems strengthening. The discussion highlighted how affordable, locally grounded approaches such as TNF can build lasting capacity while reducing reliance on external educators. Panelists have also been invited to develop the session into a manuscript for journal submission, bringing these models and their potential policy implications to an even broader audience.

Mass General Brigham Updates
-
As of Oct. 1, the MGB indirect cost rate floor is increasing to 25% (it was previously 20%). The IDC rate applied to all sundries will also increase to 25%. The IDC Rate floor required for sponsored research projects is tied to the sundry rate and will therefore also increase to 25%. The 25% floor will be applied annually to all existing foundation grants, regardless of the date the proposal was submitted or the award/gift was received. Only research training grants are exempt from this new rate. MGB issued a clarification on the indirect cost (IDC) rate floor adjustment. If you missed it, please see the message here.
- Resources are in place to help mitigate the impact of this change, and there is a prescribed path forward to access support. Investigators who are facing financial hardship should begin by discussing their needs with their division chiefs, who can then raise them to department chairs and, where appropriate, Institute leaders. Division and department leadership will review and adjudicate the need and may escalate requests for institutional support to the enterprise level.

National Institutes of Health (NIH) Updates
-
NIH is replacing Letters of Support with Letters of Collaboration to reduce administrative burden: Per NOT-OD-26-094, the NIH is aligning its letter of support requirements in applications with the format currently used by the National Science Foundation (NSF). With the implementation of Forms J in FY27, the NIH will require letters of collaboration to document any collaborative relationships with individuals that are not identified in the application as senior/key personnel or other significant contributors. Letters of collaboration will also be used to document other relevant contributions to the project's success, such as Material Transfer Agreements. Applications that continue to include letters of support after the implementation date may be returned without review.
- Letters of collaboration should be limited to stating the intent to collaborate or provide material support as described in the application and should not contain endorsements or additional information about evaluations of the proposed project. An individual letter of collaboration must not exceed 100 words. The linked notice above provides single-sentence formats for research and fellowship applications.
-
NOT-OD-26-100, NIH Update requirements for Data Management and Sharing Plan: The NIH will require all existing awards and applications subject to the NIH DMS Policy to transition to the new Data Management and Sharing Plan Format page. This requirement takes place regardless of when the completing application was submitted.
- For all proposals submitted before May 25, 2026: Submit a revised DMS plan with the new template either at JIT or with your FY2027 annual progress report.
- For all active awards subject to the 2023 DMS Policy: Submit a revised DMS plan with the new template with your FY2027 annual progress report.
- For all active awards subject to the 2003 DMS Policy: Submit a revised DMS plan with the new template with your FY2027 annual progress report.
- RM is working with Human Research Affairs to clarify the process for active awards subject to the 2023 DMS Policy.
-
NIH is seeking comment on proposed changes to reporting outcomes from NIH peer review (NOT-OD-26-088: Request for Information (RFI) on Proposed Changes to Reporting Outcomes from NIH Peer Review). NIH is requesting input on plans to make a change in the way peer review data would be communicated. NIH is proposing to no longer release the overall impact score to Principal Investigators, applicant institutions, NIH program staff, ICO leadership, and the relevant NIH Advisory Council. Instead, the NIH is proposing to sort applications into one of three categories and release the relevant category to the above parties:
- "Most competitive" (based on the top 25% of final overall impact scores),
- "Competitive" (based on the 26-50% of final overall impact scores), or
- "Not discussed" (scores >50%, or ND)
-
This is an opportunity to shape the policy before it is proposed. Comments must be received by October 13, 2026. This is not a proposed timeline for implementation.
-
NIH Updates to career development awards (NOT-OD-26-098: Notice of NIH Updates to Career Development (K) Award Programs). Beginning with due dates on or after October 12, 2027, NIH is making significant updates to its Career Development programs.
- NIH has consolidated multiple K-mechanisms and will issue new NOFOs.
- NIH will eliminate the requirement for data management and sharing plans (DMS) on Ks.
- K award funds may not be used to support the conduct of a clinical trial, clinical trial feasibility study, or ancillary study to an existing clinical trial. K awardees who wish to lead a clinical trial as PI must secure separate funding (e.g., institutional, philanthropic, or other grant awards) to support those activities.
- The new NOFOs have not yet been released. Information on the affected K-mechanisms can be found in the policy notice linked above.
