Medical Education Grants for Ukraine

Fund education that improves care where it matters most.
Help Ukrainian Hospitals (HUH) is shifting gears to expand our education mission through grant funding. We support Ukrainian clinicians and institutions with resources to build critical care skills, implement evidence-based practice, and drive quality improvement with a focus on mechanical ventilation and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS).

What are Medical Education Grants?

Our Medical Education Grants for Ukraine provide targeted funding to support:

Hands-on and virtual training programs for Ukrainian clinicians
Instructor development (“train-the-trainer”) to scale locally
Clinical protocols and bedside tools that improve consistency and safety
Quality improvement projects that measure results and strengthen systems
Targeted equipment that directly enables training (especially ultrasound)
Research associated with implementation of the above

These grants are designed to turn education into durable clinical capability and not one-time events.

Our focus areas

1) Mechanical Ventilation Education

Mechanical ventilation is one of the most complex and high-stakes aspects of critical care. Our grants prioritize education that improves:

Safe ventilator setup and adjustment
Troubleshooting oxygenation/ventilation problems
Lung-protective strategies and bedside decision frameworks
Practical approaches aligned with local constraints and real ICU conditions

2) POCUS Education and Implementation

Point-of-care ultrasound helps clinicians make faster, more confident decisions at the bedside—especially when time and resources are limited. We prioritize:

Core scanning protocols for urgent bedside assessment
Interpretation frameworks linked to clinical decision-making
Implementation into workflows (ED/ICU/OR)
Targeted ultrasound devices and training that ensure skills are usable immediately

Milestone: With HUH support, a POCUS committee was formed under the Ukrainian Society of Anesthesiology to strengthen national coordination, training standards, and long-term capacity.

Our model: Train → Implement → Measure

We combine education with implementation and quality improvement so training translates into better care.

Train

Clinicians gain practical skills they can use immediately.

Implement

Hospitals adopt protocols, checklists, and workflows that make best practices repeatable.

Measure

QI and outcomes tracking help teams see what’s working and improve continuously. We partner to research our outcomes with Ukrainian universities [link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38918272/]

Successful approaches become templates that can scale to other sites.

What we fund

Depending on the proposal, grants may support:

Workshops, courses, simulation sessions, and digital education
Instructor training and curriculum development
Translation/adaptation of materials to local needs
QI projects tied to ventilation or POCUS adoption
Targeted tools/equipment that enable bedside learning (e.g., ultrasound)
Research projects associated with implementation science

We prioritize projects that show:

Clear clinical relevance
Practical implementation plans
Local ownership and sustainability
Measurable outcomes (even simple ones)

Partnerships in Ukraine

HUH continues to collaborate with medical universities, hospitals, and private entities in Ukraine to advance education within our broader mission: helping build better health for Ukraine through durable clinical capability and systems improvement.

How grants are selected

Our grantmaking emphasizes transparency and impact. Proposals are reviewed based on:

Alignment with ventilation and/or POCUS priorities
Feasibility in real-world Ukrainian clinical settings
Plan for sustainability (training more trainers, repeatable programs)
Measurement plan (what will improve and how you’ll know)
Responsible budgeting and procurement

Accountability and reporting

Grant recipients provide lightweight reporting focused on outcomes, such as:

Number of clinicians trained (and level of training)
Skills assessment (pre/post where feasible)
Implementation milestones (protocol adoption, workflow integration)
QI measures (e.g., adherence to a bundle, complication rates where appropriate)

We aim for accountability without excessive administrative burden.

FAQ

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes, for U.S. donors (HUH is a registered 501(c)(3)).

Do grants only support equipment?

No, our focus is education and implementation. Equipment support is targeted and tied to training outcomes.

Who can apply?

Ukrainian hospitals, universities, professional committees, and US clinical teams or individual clinicians aligned with the program priorities (ventilation and POCUS).
