As you complete your online application, please note the application review process may take up to 12 weeks. Please plan ahead and submit your application at least 3 months in advance.

Eligibility

Grants are open to individuals in the government, academic, and private sectors. Scientists in public health, veterinary, and/or agriculture fields are encouraged to apply.

Selection Criteria

Applicants are strongly encouraged to keep these 5 criteria in mind as they are completing their grant application. A review committee of subject-matter experts will evaluate applications based on the following criteria:

  • Does your proposal effectively define and address a global health security challenge?
  • Is your proposal innovative? Does it propose a unique approach?
  • Is your proposal cost effective? Does it have a strong return on investment and potential for long-term impact?
  • How will the proposal’s impact be monitored and evaluated? What are its measurable targets and indicators?
  • Does the proposal leverage local resources, build upon existing work (research, programs, etc.), and/or support collaboration with other local stakeholders?

Expectations & Opportunities

Grant recipients agree to provide the following to Health Security Partners:

  • Detailed monthly progress reports, to include supporting documents such as lesson plans, training curriculum, agenda, and photos
  • Final report with lessons learned, success stories, challenges identified, and recommendations

Grant amount varies depending on the scope and depth of the proposal. Applicants are encouraged to develop low cost, high impact proposals, as outlined in the grant criteria above.
