Description
The Faculty Micro Grants program, administered by the Havey Institute for Global Health at Northwestern University, provides modest funding to support full-time faculty who are mentoring medical students in the Area of Scholarly Concentration (AOSC) program. The grant aims to facilitate global health research and student mentorship by covering travel to international partner sites, basic study supplies, and essential software. Priority is given to projects where the majority of research activity occurs in partner countries, and the funding is intended for short-term, project-specific needs rather than long-term research efforts.
