Description
Northwestern University's Havey Institute for Global Health offers Research Catalyzer Funding to support faculty conducting global health research. The program helps investigators collect preliminary data for future grant submissions or undertake additional work outside the aims or scope of ongoing sponsored research. Its emphasis is on developing research connected to future sponsor support, rather than funding the same aims of an existing study.
Eligible projects must include a significant study component in a low- or middle-income country and a specific plan to obtain sponsor support. The program sits within the institute's broader mission to improve health around the world.
