Description
Faculty Micro Grants from the Havey Institute for Global Health provide up to $2,500 to support full-time Northwestern University faculty who are actively mentoring medical students in the Area of Scholarly Concentration (AOSC) program. The grant aims to facilitate global health research and student mentorship by covering modest expenses such as travel to international partner sites, basic study supplies, and essential software. The program prioritizes projects with a majority of research activity occurring in partner countries and is intended for short-term, focused needs rather than long-term research support.
