With generous support from the Dean’s Office and UCLA Health International Services, the Global Health Program annually sponsors two distinct funding opportunities.

The Global Health Collaboration Award prioritizes bilateral clinical, educational, and training initiatives with international partners, with a specific focus on settings with less access to such resources. 

The Global Health Seed Grant is intended to support multidisciplinary teams to conduct research in low- and middle-income countries that demonstrate promise to address important health questions relevant to the local community and strengthen the capacity and skills of early-career investigators at UCLA and partner institutions to successfully compete for future funding.
