The Harvard Global Health Institute (HGHI Burke Global Health Fellowship). APPLY NOW!
This one-year Fellowship program provides funding for Harvard junior faculty from across the University to support innovative research, curriculum development, and teaching in global health. Since 2009, the HGHI Burke Global Health fellowship has served as a career catalyst for over 50 junior faculty.
The HGHI Burke Global Health Fellowship Award
The HGHI Burke Global Health Fellowship is a 12-month program that provides funding for research and curriculum development. There are two categories of HGHI Burke Global Health Fellowship awards:
Research Award: $75,000 each
Research awards provide opportunities for junior faculty to conduct foundational research that prepares them to be independent investigators or to conduct exploratory work on groundbreaking questions seldom supported by traditional funding sources.
Curriculum Development and Teaching Award: $25,000 each
Curriculum Development and Teaching awards provide funding for junior faculty to apply innovative pedagogy to course development and teaching, particularly at the undergraduate level. Recipients of the HGHI Burke Fellowships will also receive funding for professional development, including up to $3,000 toward publishing in an open-access journal once during the fellowship, and up to $5,000 towards attending a research conference or networking event that enhances research networks and/or research skills and knowledge.
Basic Qualifications
Candidates must hold a junior faculty appointment at Harvard University (ie: Instructor, Assistant or Associate Professor, etc.). We welcome proposals from a broad range of fields and perspectives. Faculty working in disciplines outside of health and life sciences are strongly encouraged to apply so long as the work falls within global health.
