Those who receive an ASTMH-sponsored fellowship will not be eligible to receive any Subgroup research/travel awards or ASTMH Travel Awards.

ACGH Award for Research Support 
The ASTMH Committee on Global Health aims to address health issues that unfavorably affect underserved and under-resourced populations, including and in addition to ASTMH's traditional purview of tropical medicine and hygiene. Global health topic areas focus on globalization's impact on health, health disparities and global health partnerships.

Generous funding from our ASTMH parent body, along with your membership contributions, has allowed us to continue this award in 2020. It is aimed at all levels of trainees who are working toward ACGH goals. This ACGH-sponsored award is designed to support research expenses for trainees who have approved research projects that are currently active or will start during 2020. Trainees can use the award to support travel to field sites, purchase equipment, software, reagents or supplies, or cover other expenses that will enhance the project.
