Funding Opportunities

Brown University offers a variety of funding opportunities for students interested in global health. Here are a few places to begin your search for funding:

The Foreign Studies Fellowship was established to promote a sensitivity to international health issues, an interest in pursuing scholarly research in international health, and a desire to engage in activities that will benefit developing nations. Brown medical students both at the graduate and undergraduate level and MPH students focused on international health are encouraged to write proposals for funding from this program.

The Karen T. Romer Undergraduate Teaching and Research Awards (UTRAs) fund collaborative projects students undertake with Brown professors. The awards are named for the legendary dean who launched the program at Brown in the 1980s. UTRAs provide students with opportunities to work closely in research situations with faculty members, to participate integrally in the process of course development and revision, and thereby to experience first-hand the work of the college. These collaborative projects can benefit students in several important ways: by providing valuable academic training; allowing students to test their interest in pursuing an academic career; and contributing directly to research and curricular development.
