Global Health Education Innovation Award
The Global Health Education Innovation Awards are designed to promote and support global health education work by YIGH-affiliated faculty. Projects should address an important issue in global health education.
Funded through a partnership of the Offices of Global Health Education (OGHE) at the Yale School of Medicine, the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH), and the Office of Global Affairs and Planetary Health at the Yale School of Nursing, these awards are administered by the Yale Institute for Global Health (YIGH).
Four awards, each up to $10,000 will be issued, including:
- Two from OGHE at the Yale School of Medicine for projects that are led by YSM faculty and include a medical student.
- One from the Yale School of Public Health for a project that is led by a YSPH faculty member and includes a Yale undergraduate, graduate student, or trainee (resident, fellow, other health professional student).
