The Institute for Global Health is pleased to share this call for applications to supporting member faculty projects, including, but not limited to, events, education, community engagement, or implementation projects. These funds are not intended to support research projects. Those interested in research awards should apply for Research Catalyzer Funding for Faculty.

Faculty must have a full-time appointment at Northwestern University and be a member of the Institute for Global Health for at least the past six months.
Budget: Total budget cannot exceed $25,000 regardless of length of budget period, including all subcontractor costs and indirect expenses to subcontractors. F&A to Northwestern is not allowable. Requests may be made for less than $25,000.
