Faculty Mentorship Grants
Engaging Students in Ongoing Projects
The Global REACH Faculty Mentorship Grant is intended to strengthen international educational engagement between U-M Medical School (UMMS) faculty and students through meaningful, in-country experiences. These awards support faculty who are actively engaged in global collaborations and wish to incorporate medical students into that work, helping cultivate the next generation of globally minded physician-leaders.

To Apply
Applications are now open on the U-M Competition Space.
Funding Information
Amount: $1,000.
Eligibility: UMMS Faculty who are Global REACH Faculty Associates. Preference will be given to early-career faculty and/or first-time mentors in the global space.
Setting: The experience should be in an LMIC setting. Preference will be given to designated Global REACH Platform Countries: Brazil, Ethiopia, Ghana, or India. (While not LMICs, China and Taiwan, where Global REACH also maintains robust partnerships, may be considered on a case-by-case basis.)
Other Requirements:
- Student experiences in-country should be a minimum of 2-weeks, and the faculty member and student(s) must spend a portion of their time in-country together.
- While complete travel schedule overlap is not required, meaningful in-person mentorship and collaboration abroad is expected.
- Faculty awardees must be willing to participate in at least one Global REACH event within 12 months of the award (i.e., willingness to attend a student travel pre-departure session, or present at a global health forum focused on creating educational experiences abroad).
These awards are intended to support faculty travel costs. Students engaged in these experiences are encouraged to apply for applicable Global REACH funding mechanisms aimed at learners.
