Description
This funding opportunity, administered by the Havey Institute for Global Health at Northwestern University, is designed to catalyze exploratory and innovative research in global health. It specifically targets projects in the early and conceptual stages that address critical healthcare needs worldwide. The program emphasizes high-risk, high-reward studies that may lead to novel techniques, methodologies, devices, or models with significant potential to impact global biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research. Substantial international collaboration is required, with a focus on partnerships outside the United States. Projects must be distinct from those typically supported by traditional NIH R21 or R01 mechanisms.
