The Global Health Field Research Award (GHFRA) is a student fellowship that provides a $3,500 grant for a student-initiated research experience in the U.S. or abroad to address global health issues. 

Applicants must identify their own projects and a researcher willing to include them in an existing project. Applicants planning to undertake a project involving human subjects research must have approval from the IRB. The research questions proposed should be the student’s original design. Applications that replicate currently funded research questions will not be considered.
