The goals of these seed grants are to:
- Seed new global health research studies by UMN faculty that have potential to attract future funding from external sources;
- Encourage interdisciplinary research;
- Support new partnerships between UMN faculty and global institutions;
- Create a mechanism to involve students in faculty-led international research studies.
