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 by the Office of Global Health Education (OGHE) at the Yale School of Medicine, these awards are administered by the Yale Institute for Global Health (YIGH). To be eligible, applicants must have a current faculty appointment at the Yale School of Medicine, be a YIGH Faculty Affiliate, and include one Yale student. Applications may include other Yale faculty and trainees, as well as faculty and trainees from the domestic or international site. Proposals should include activities with foreseeable “real world” educational impacts and benefits and be written for reviewers who do not have specialized expertise in the applicant’s field or discipline. Proposals must be no longer than two pages. They should include the following components: Title and Abstract, Background, Rationale, Potential Impact, Evidence of Institutional Collaboration, Project Plan with activities, timeline, and expected outcomes, and Budget. Complete applications are reviewed by a faculty committee and include both quantitative and qualitative review. Efforts will be made to avoid conflicts of interest in the review process.
Late applications will not be considered, and all funding decisions are final.
