Description
The Faculty Micro Grants program, administered by the Robert J. Havey, MD Institute for Global Health at Northwestern University, provides financial support to full-time Northwestern faculty who are mentoring medical students in the Area of Scholarly Concentration (AOSC) program. These micro grants are intended to facilitate global health research by covering travel to international partner sites, basic study supplies, and essential software. The program aims to foster credible and sustainable global health research projects that actively involve student mentees, with a preference for projects where the majority of research activity occurs in partner countries.
