Conference Grant

General Conference Grant Program:

Students are eligible to apply for funds to support their participation in conferences where they will present research completed as a Global Health Field Research Award or Global Health Established Field Placement participant. The Center for Global Health recognizes that participation in global health discussions domestically and internationally provides the opportunities for engagement in dialogue that strives to effectively address and ameliorate the world's most pressing health issues. Conferences opportunities also provide venues to develop key partnerships with various organizations, universities, and governments strengthening the resources necessary to the generation of sustainable and effective approaches.

For each cycle (starting in September and ending the following August), only four grants will be awarded. Four $500 grants will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
