Impact Accelerator Grants ## Supporting high-potential, collaborative projects Impact Accelerator Grants support projects that mobilize novel ideas and collaborations to help people live healthier and longer lives. This grant program supports co-designed projects that have been developed with a global partner. Proposals without a strong collaborative focus with partners in low- and middle-income countries are unlikely to be successful.
Preference will be given to proposals that move beyond conceptualizing problems or defining research questions and instead pursue action-oriented projects focused on designing, piloting, or testing solutions that improve health outcomes for people in low- and middle-income countries contexts. * Open to teams co-led by U-M faculty and global collaborators * Grant Amount Supported. $35,000–$100,000 * Project Duration.

Projects must include faculty from at least three distinct University of Michigan schools, colleges, or units. 5. Align with the least one of the thematic priorities of the Center.
