Description
Faculty Micro Grants from the Robert J. Havey, MD Institute for Global Health provide up to $2,500 annually to full-time Northwestern faculty who are mentoring medical students in the Area of Scholarly Concentration (AOSC) program. These micro grants are intended to cover modest expenses such as travel to international partner sites, basic study supplies, and essential software needed to develop and oversee credible and sustainable global health research projects involving students. The program prioritizes projects with the majority of research activity taking place in partner countries and is not intended to support long-term research projects.
