The Global Health Field Research Award (GHFRA) is a merger of two JHU global health funding programs: the Framework Program in Global Health, previously administered by the Johns Hopkins Center for Global Health, and the Global Field Experience Fund, previously administered by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The objective of the GHFRA is to enhance the recruitment of students into global health research and practice careers by providing them the means to work with faculty mentors and to attain domestic or international cross-cultural field experience. All students who wish to be considered for the grant must team with a research mentor, formulate a global health-related project, and submit a detailed proposal of the project on the grant deadline, March 1, each school year. The GHFRA is primarily designed for the student who wishes to conduct research on a topic/concept of their own choosing in connection with a faculty member’s project. Grants of up to $3,500 to undergraduate and graduate students are awarded to the proposals judged by faculty members to be realistic, challenging, and educational. Students not requiring an independent research experience may also be interested in the Global Health Established Field Placements program.
Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 March 2011
