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.
**Grant Amount:** up to $35,000 **Project Duration:** up to 12 months **Application status: OPEN** Letters of intent due Friday, September 4, 2026 via Infoready. **Proposals must meet the following criteria:** 1. Projects must be co-led by a U-M faculty member and a collaborator based in a low- or middle-income country (LMIC).
2. The Principal Investigator must be a CGHE member and must not currently hold an active CGHE grant. (Those in postdoctoral or staff roles are not typically eligible; however, we welcome potential applicants to reach out with any questions about eligibility.)
3. Projects must include collaborators from a low- or middle-income country (LMIC). 4.
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.
