RFA: Global Health Pilot Projects
The mission of the Mary Heersink Institute for Global Health (MHIGH) is to alleviate the most pressing global health challenges and promote healthy lives through training and mentorship of global health scholars, innovative scientific research, and groundbreaking service and capacity-building initiatives embedded in genuine collaboration, trust, and multi-directional global health partnerships.
The goal of the MHIGH Pilot Project mechanism is to catalyze innovation in any mission area that involves collaboration between experienced investigators at UAB and international partners addressing a major global health problem. Preference will be given to projects that include mentorship of junior investigators or trainees, Low-or Middle- Income Country (LMIC) settings, and/or transdisciplinary collaborations and co-funding (other institutes, Sparkman Center for Global Health, University-wide Interdisciplinary Centers and/or Departments and Divisions). These projects are useful to generate preliminary data for larger projects, support promising investigators, and/or build capacity to improve outcomes over the long term.
Application Deadline: January 18, 2023
