The University of Wisconsin-Madison Global Health Institute (GHI) is pleased to announce the application period is open for its 2020 grants and awards. This competitive grant program is designed to support global health efforts of faculty, staff and graduate students across campus, fostering the Wisconsin Idea locally and globally.
Deadline extended until February 28 for Henry Anderson III Graduate Student Award in Environmental, Occupational and Public Health.
Grant applications are due January 27, 2020. In addition, Seed Grant applications must submit a letter of intent by December 20, 2019.
This year, the Institute again offers the Clinical Research Award, targeted specifically for health trainees and clinicians, and its Seed Grants for new projects that can secure future outside funding. The Institute also makes graduate student research, visiting scholars, and faculty and staff travel awards
GHI’s popular Seed Grants are the largest awards, at up to $25,000 each. The grants, available to investigators and clinicians from across campus, support efforts to launch new global health research projects and make them competitive for sustained external funding. The 2019 Seed Grants supported a range of projects, including determining the effects of climate change on family planning, developing a way to train Ethiopian medical workers to care for vehicle accident injuries and identifying specific bacteria causing serious infections in infants. The grants have gone to health clinicians, biochemists, engineers, women’s health advocates and more.
