Description
Research Catalyzer Funding is offered by Northwestern University’s Havey Institute for Global Health to support affiliated faculty conducting global health research. It funds preliminary data collection intended to underpin a future grant submission, as well as supplemental work associated with ongoing sponsored research that falls outside the funded project’s aims or scope of work.
The program focuses on research with a specific plan to obtain future sponsor support, rather than duplicating work already funded under an existing study. Projects must include a significant study component in a low- or middle-income country. This support connects early evidence development and additional research needs with the Institute’s mission to improve health around the world.
