“…New models are emerging for nonprofits to pick up slack left by for-profit device and pharmaceutical companies who do not see financial potential in addressing challenging global healthcare problems. 63 The opportunity to dramatically change the landscape for previously intractable problems in women's health in the 21st century requires action and has the potential for significant societal impact.…”

Medical conditions that primarily or disproportionately affect women have historically been poorly studied. In contrast to the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, there is no lengthy record of biomaterials research addressing women's health needs. In this article, the historical reasons for this discrepancy are examined. The anatomy of both the nonpregnant and pregnant reproductive tissues is reviewed, including the ovaries, uterus, and (fetal) placenta. Examples of biomaterials-related women's health research are described, including tissue engineering, organoids, and microphysiological systems. The future of the field is considered with dual focuses. First, there is a significant need for novel approaches to advance women's health through materials and biomaterials, particularly in complex biomimetic hydrogels. Second, there is an exciting opportunity to enlarge the community of biomaterials scientists and engineers working in women's health to encourage more contributions to its rapidly emerging product development pipeline.

“…Moreover, public-private partnerships have been instrumental in the development of non-profit projects, especially in sectors such as healthcare and infrastructure (Wang et al, 2019;Daito & Gifford, 2014). Furthermore, the emergence of social non-profit bio-entrepreneurship has contributed to the success of projects aimed at addressing global health challenges (Sadeghi et al, 2021;Abraham et al, 2023). These factors collectively contribute to the success of non-profit projects in urban community development.…”

Urban community development is a multifaceted challenge that demands innovative and sustainable solutions. This paper conducts a comprehensive review of the impact of non-profit organizations in facilitating urban community development, drawing comparisons between the contexts of the United States and various regions in Africa. With a focus on the role of non-profits, this study examines the strategies, challenges, and outcomes of community development initiatives in urban settings. The literature review provides an overview of urban community development and underscores the increasing importance of non-profit organizations as key contributors to positive change. The paper then delves into a comparative analysis of non-profit projects in urban areas, exploring both the similarities and distinctive factors influencing community development efforts in the USA and Africa. The methodology section details the research approach, emphasizing data collection from diverse sources, including academic literature, non-profit reports, and case studies. Through a qualitative analysis, the study identifies key themes, success factors, and challenges associated with non-profit engagement in urban community development. The comparative analysis reveals common patterns, such as the importance of community engagement and grassroots participation, as well as unique challenges shaped by cultural, economic, and governance differences. Success factors, including effective partnerships and adaptive strategies, emerge as crucial components in achieving sustainable outcomes. The implications and recommendations section discusses the potential policy changes, community engagement strategies, and areas for future research. Recognizing the vital role of non-profits in urban community development, this study aims to inform stakeholders, policymakers, and practitioners about effective approaches and lessons learned from both the USA and African contexts. This research underscores the dynamic nature of urban community development and emphasizes the significance of non-profit organizations in fostering positive change. By examining and comparing experiences in the USA and Africa, this study contributes to a nuanced understanding of effective strategies for non-profit impact in urban environments, offering insights that can inform future initiatives and policies on a global scale.

“…Finally, empirical studies setting the groundwork for sectoral findings are also numerous. The study of the health sector is most often chosen with a view to providing gender, age, spatial, and country level findings, given the SEs' role in promoting positive health outcomes [75][76][77].…”

Social Entrepreneurship and Social Capital: A Review of Impact Research

2023

This study analyzes social capital as a mediator/moderator of social value creation in social entrepreneurship (SE); thus, we adopted a mixed methods review that was performed in two stages. In the first stage, we overviewed the reviews in order to summarize key findings from the analysis of social entrepreneurship. At this stage, the aim was to show the gap in the existing research, with an explicit focus on impact generation and measuring that impact within social enterprises. Then, we conducted a literature review focusing on studies that analyse the relationship between social entrepreneurship and social capital. Our assumption is that social capital is an impact generation mechanism that works at different interaction levels. Our analysis identifies three pathways which show how social entrepreneurship can have an impact, and how it can be generated by higher levels of social capital. These three pathways involve productivity, community resilience, and institutional development. The proposed classification of the empirically identified SE impact pathways offers insights that are useful to informing the available approaches concerning social impact creation and methods which approximate tangible SE outcomes. In addition, the mediator/moderator approach to social capital identifies these pathways as being complementary value creation processes.
