The Office of Global Health Initiatives (OGHI) offers funding for UB School of Public Health and Health Professions’ (SPHHP) students interested in interacting with public health initiatives and services in resource-poor settings in the United States or in a global setting. These awards are made possible in part by generous support from OGHI Founding Director Dr. Arthur Goshin.
UB SPHHP graduate students are eligible to apply for field work funding and may propose working locally on a topic of global interest, or internationally. UB SPHHP graduate students may also apply for funding to attend a major international conference.
Students engaged in international fieldwork must adhere to UB travel policies and complete any requirements well in advance of travel. International fieldwork award recipients must keep and submit budget justification forms and receipts as instructed. Local and international project award recipients will present findings to SPHHP faculty and staff in a format arranged by OGHI. Additionally, award recipients will be required to present their work at the Annual Perry Poster session organized by SPHHP.
