Applicants are encouraged to engage other academic institutions, community organisations, students, and/or public health professionals in their projects, if appropriate. Eligible applicants for this award must be an academic public health institution that is a member of one of the regional associations that belong to the Global Network for Academic Public Health.
Applicants to this grant program will also nominate a current student to participate in the first TIPH Global Ambassador program.
