In cooperation with Great Cities Institute, the UIC Global Excellence Task Force and the UIC College of Medicine’s Center for Global Health has established an annual seed grant program designed to foster new trans-disciplinary and mixed and multiple methods research in global health and well-being at UIC. In particular, these grants will encourage new pilot research with a substantial likelihood of gaining external funding or that can be completed with a limited budget.
Priority will be given to projects that: 1) address global health and well-being research priorities; 2) integrate multiple approaches which can include, for example, biomedical science, social science, humanities, architecture, art, communications, urban planning, business, criminal justice, diversity, social justice and engineering; 3) incorporate mixed and multiple methods; 4) include investigators from both UIC’s East and West campuses.
