edu/research/funding-pathways/seed-grants) ## Supporting early-stage, collaborative health scholarship Seed Grants support exploratory projects that catalyze novel ideas and collaborations and build a case for larger-scale or more expansive projects that will help people live healthier and longer lives. This grant program supports co-designed projects that will be implemented 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 projects that build an evidence base for impact, design and test solutions, or pilot interventions. Other examples of funded projects may include—but are not limited to—exploring local needs, defining scope of work, validating feasibility of activities, and testing initial ideas.

A new Interior Department policy routes every grant and cooperative agreement of $50,000 or more through two political appointees for manual review.
