Description
The Faculty Micro Grants program, administered by the Robert J. Havey, MD Institute for Global Health at Northwestern University, provides micro grants to support full-time Northwestern faculty who are actively mentoring medical students in the Area of Scholarly Concentration (AOSC) program. The purpose is to facilitate credible and sustainable global health research projects that include student involvement, particularly by supporting travel to international partner sites, basic study supplies, and essential software. Priority is given to projects with the majority of research activity occurring in partner countries. The funds are intended for modest, short-term support and are not meant for long-term or extensively funded projects.
