Purpose:
The CIGH Seed Grant program supports the development of innovative solutions to global health challenges. In order to foster a collaborative community of researchers, educators and students, it provides seed funding of $10,000 to $50,000 to enable multidisciplinary teams (different disciplines, departments or schools) to initiate novel research projects and/or to use new approaches to design or implement products, services, policies or programs to address health issues faced by low-resource populations. The program’s goals are to foster new relationships and create new areas of self-sustaining research.
Funders include the Stanford University Office of the President, the Dean of the School of Medicine, and the Woods Institute for the Environment.
Priority Areas:
Preference will be given to projects that have one or more of the following characteristics:
- High-risk, transformative projects that have the potential to lead to substantial improvement in global health
- Projects that address key issues at the intersection of the environment and health
- Projects that represent new interdisciplinary collaborations among, faculty, fellows, postdocs, students or staff who have not previously worked together.
