Description
The Faculty Micro Grants, offered by the Havey Institute for Global Health at Northwestern University, provide up to $2,500 annually to full-time Northwestern faculty who are actively mentoring medical students in the Area of Scholarly Concentration (AOSC) program. These micro grants aim to support travel, basic study supplies, software, and other modest expenses related to the development and oversight of global health research projects, especially those with substantial activity in partner countries. The grant is designed to foster credible and sustainable global health research that is amenable to student involvement, with a preference for projects not already funded through other mechanisms.
