In honor of the legacy of a long-time staff member in the Global Health Program, the Global Engagement Office at Health Sciences announces that the application period for the Nancy Sanders Memorial Student Travel Grant and the Nancy Sanders Memorial Faculty Research Abroad Grant is now open. The deadline is Oct. 18.
Sanders was instrumental in establishing WVU’s highly successful and nationally distinguished Tropical Medicine Course. She enjoyed meeting people from all over the world, and she made every visitor feel welcomed and loved. In the same spirit of her tireless work, hospitality and kindness, the GEO administers these grants to support the development and cultivation of international collaborations for faculty and students.
Up to 10 student awards of $2,000 each are available for the academic year. Two of these 10 student awards are prioritized for an outbound placement through the Visiting Student Learning Opportunities program of the Association of American Medical Colleges. One faculty research award of $10,000 is also available.
