The
purpose of AFHE Collaboration Fund is to provide funding for projects that
involve collaborations between Senior Fellows from the Atlantic Fellows for
Health Equity program. We hope that the funds will help advance AFHE’s
commitment to promoting innovative ideas, encouraging collective action and
sharing the important work you are doing with others.
FUNDING

initiative.

community-based interventions or education, research endeavors, conference
presentations.
- For conference presentations, you
must provide documentation of an accepted abstract/poster/presentation
that names each fellow as an author/contributor.

will be accepted on a rolling basis. The proposal should be concise,
approximately 1-2 pages and consist of the following elements:
- Brief Narrative.
Please describe the scope of the problem being addressed, the significance
of your proposed project, the aims of the project, the specific approach
you will take and why your idea is innovative.

REPORTING
The
fellows are expected to provide a copy of the deliverable(s) at the end of the
project, within 60 calendar days of completion. This deliverable may be shared
with the fellowship community through appropriate channels, e.g. newsletter,
social media. We also encourage the fellows to try to disseminate their work on
a broader basis, when feasible.
Fellows
are also required to submit receipts or other equivalent documentation of use
of funds at the end of the funding period. Any unused funds should be returned
to AFHE.
