Many international funding opportunities exist, ranging from large public institutions to small, specialized, private foundations. This page contains links to some of the largest funding institutions, advice with applications, and a link to the TropMed Research Funding Opportunities blog, which collects recent calls for applications in one convenient place. The application process can be complicated and require a lot of time, so the Office of Research Services staff is always available to help with this process. We have experience with dealing with the funding institutions, and will provide support/assistance throughout the application process and with post-grant management.
