MACH Announces $25,000 DGHI Pilot Proposal

The Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI) invites interdisciplinary teams to submit research proposals in the area of Global Maternal, Adolescent and Child Health (MACH) for up to $25,000. Maternal, Adolescent and Child Health is a research priority for DGHI. Letter of intent is due April 1, 2015 to Alisa Barrett at alisa.barrett@chpir.org, and questions can be directed to Dr. Kathryn Whetten at k.whetten@duke.edu.

DGHI seeks to provide pilot funds to stimulate interdisciplinary research in maternal, adolescent, and child health with the goal of enabling investigators to leverage preliminary findings and data to obtain larger awards of external funding. Collaborative and interdisciplinary proposals are especially encouraged. Proposals that support a sustainable line of research in maternal, adolescent, and child health will be prioritized.
