Sesh Global LLC

Sesh Global LLC, a China-based not-for-profit organization, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal research grants focused on HIV stigma, prevention, and participatory research, with no prime contract or grant awards and no presence on federal contract vehicles. The vendor has received four federal grant sub-awards totaling $1.5 million obligated across two distinct National Institutes of Health customer agencies since 2021.

Sesh Global's grant footprint divides evenly between the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), each funding two sub-awards. Recent work includes a sub-award from the Regents of the University of Minnesota (April 2025) for a project titled "Combating HIV Stigma in Healthcare Settings: A Standardized Patient Approach," a sub-award from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (February 2025) supporting a K24 mid-career mentoring award on HIV crowdsourcing and participatory research in low and middle-income countries with a focus on mentorship and gender equity in global health settings, and a prior sub-award from the Regents of the University of Minnesota (August 2024) for "Standardized Patients to Measure and Address Intersectional Stigma: An HIV Prevention Engagement Strategy." The vendor's sub-award work encompasses research design, standardized patient protocols, mentorship capacity-building, data analysis on pay-it-forward research models in China, manuscript development for peer-reviewed journals, and presentation support for national and international conferences.

Award activity shows minimal volume — one sub-award in 2021, one in 2024, and two in 2025 — with all four awards routed through academic research institutions rather than direct federal agency relationships. The vendor operates in a sub-recipient capacity exclusively, with no independent federal contracting capability or vehicle participation.
