What We Do

The NEWAID Foundation provides research funding to public health students, encouraging their involvement with traditionally neglected infectious diseases in the developing world.

2011-2012 Applications

The NEWAID foundation will not be offering grants for this academic year. Instead, we will be conducting a survey of past grant recipients in an internal review process to determine what past NEWAID Fellows have done with their careers after their research experiences. We hope to offer another round of grants in the 2012-2013 academic year, with applications typically due Jan 31st.

Grants

Students and recent MPH graduates may apply for funding to complete projects that generally last between ten to twelve weeks. Proposals for longer projects are welcomed, while short-term projects of less than 10 weeks are unlikely to receive funding. These projects will typically be completed during the summer, though arrangements may me made to use the stipend at other times. The amount of individual stipends will vary, with a maximum award of $4000.

In addition to the option for full funding, the NEWAID Foundation is now also offering travel grants, with a maximum award of $750. The application process and eligibility requirements are the same for this award.
