Description
The Faculty Micro Grants program, administered by the Havey Institute for Global Health at Northwestern University, offers modest funding to support full-time Northwestern faculty who are actively mentoring medical students in the Area of Scholarly Concentration (AOSC) program. These micro grants are intended to facilitate travel to international partner sites, purchase basic study supplies, and cover other modest expenses required to develop and oversee credible and sustainable global health research projects that involve student mentorship. The program prioritizes projects with substantial research activity in partner countries and is not designed to fund long-term research projects.
