Bringing Awareness to Schistosomiasis
.jpg)
According to the World Health Organization, the epidemiology of NTDs are complex and often relates to environmental conditions, making controlling them challenging. We aim to bring social awareness to NTDs, expand health education, and build interest in the Rutgers community in finding sustainable, ecologically friendly, and culturally non-intrusive public health measures.
Focus
CRISP vastly researches schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease. Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are viral, parasitic, or bacterial diseases that mainly affect the world’s poorest populations.
CRISP aims to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to seek innovation through environmentally friendly solutions.
CRISP is currently an initiative managed by Rutgers Enactus - New Brunswick. Enactus programs seek to partner with leading organizations to drive collaboration and innovation that engages the next generation of leaders to tackle the world’s most challenging problems.
