The Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research is accepting applications for the 2023 Seed Grants for Critical Social Science Perspectives in Global Health Research.
Five seed grants worth up to $5,000 CAD each will be awarded.
York graduate students and research fellows are welcome to apply with the support of a York faculty member as the principal investigator. The seed grant aims to support research that takes a critical social science approach to global health research and meets the three themes of the Dahdaleh Institute: planetary health; global health and humanitarianism; and global health foresighting.
Critical research often involves the use of critical theory with social justice aims. Critical social science perspectives in global health are transdisciplinary, participatory, experimental, or experiential analyses that seek greater effectiveness, equity, and excellence in global health. This means engaging directly with global public health actors, structures, and systems to transform global public health while remaining committed to social science theory and methodology. The CPGH Seed Grant Program aims to foster more research in this area and to encourage faculty to develop grant proposals for Fall Tri-Council and other funders’ grant submission deadlines. Seed Grant recipients will also be invited to present the progress of their research at next year’s Critical Social Science Perspectives in Global Health Research Workshop.
The application deadline has been extended to Wednesday, April 12, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
