Funding and Teaching Opportunities
Funding Opportunities at SPH
These awards are made annually to support undergraduate, graduate, and medical students who wish to undertake research in health services, with a focus on health status and access to health care by people experiencing poverty and who are medically underserved.
The School of Public Health offers students at all levels opportunities to engage in teaching support.
Doctoral students who present at academic conferences can apply to the Graduate School for funds to cover related travel expenses. Master’s students who would like to participate in developmental conferences and workshops, can apply for funding through the Master’s Student Professional Development Fund at the School of Professional Studies.
The Offices of Research Development and of Corporate & Foundation Relations compile listings of funding opportunities for masters, doctoral, and postdoctoral researchers.
Funding Opportunities at Brown
GHI has funded 140 undergraduate students, medical students, graduate students, residents, and fellows since 2010, conducting research in 36 countries.
These are offered through a partnership between the Fulbright Program and the Fogarty International Center of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. These awards were established to promote the expansion of research in public health and clinical research in resource-limited settings.
The Graduate School provides support for doctoral and master's students traveling for research, to present at conferences, and for other scholarly activities.
The Research Mobility Fellowship program supports doctoral students who seek to conduct pre-dissertation or dissertation research during one academic year semester.
Venture support funds through the Nelson Center are designed with a loose “path” in mind, one consistent with their structured approach to venture creation.
The Division of Research manages Brown’s institutional-level internal funding streams.
Research assistantships are awarded to new as well as continuing students. More than any other type of support, RAs are tied to grant-related funding and are thus administered independently by each program. For more information, students should contact their program’s director of graduate study.
Swearer Center fellowships and programs empower students to make meaningful contributions and effect positive change in the world. Explore undergraduate and graduate opportunities to learn about eligibility and application timelines.
