Global Public Health Research Challenge Fund
To all NYU faculty:
The Global Public Health Research Challenge Fund (GPHRCF) supports faculty-initiated research on a competitive basis and is administered by the Executive Vice President for Health and a GPHRCF Selection Committee, composed of senior faculty representing a cross-section of disciplines at the University. Awards in 2012 - 2013 will be made in a single round of competition.
Up to five awards of up to $15,000 each will be granted for the 2012-2013 academic year. Requests for funding should in no case exceed $15,000. Awards will not be granted to fund faculty salaries, but should be used to cover out-of-pocket project expenses such as student support, travel, software, data base acquisition, equipment, etc.
The purpose of the GPHRCF is:
- To serve as an incentive for faculty to explore new areas of global public health research that are likely to attract outside support;
- To support those engaging in productive global public health scholarship in areas where there are few sources of existing support.
Proposals are encouraged from individuals or groups of faculty members in any academic discipline represented at the University. Projects must demonstrate a global public health focus, which includes projects involving global public health issues that express themselves in U.S.-based populations. Proposals for collaborative, interdepartmental, and/or inter-school research are particularly encouraged. Awards are open to all full-time NYU faculty, but one criterion for review will include the extent to which the project enriches the NYU Master of Public Health Program faculty and student body.
