Although the School of Medicine strongly encourages participation in international health projects, we cannot fund every request for travel nor the entire cost of projects.

Students should anticipate paying out-of-pocket some of the expenses incurred. Students may want to consider alternate ways such as fundraising and requesting money from academic departments to supplement unfunded costs. Students may be eligible for one of our available funding sources. Several of the School's funding sources are identified below.

Application approval does not guarantee funding. A budget and travel expense breakdown must be included with the application. A limited amount of grants/awards are available. NYU sponsored programs receive priority for funding allocations.

Note: Only programs that are Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved will receive funding.

• Preclinical students
  Preclinical students may be funded up to 75% of their total cost for NYU sponsored programs with an award maximum of $2,000. For Non-NYU sponsored programs, funding may be significantly less and will be determined by the OSA based on the submitted application.
• Clinical Students
  Clinical students may be funded up to 75% of their total cost for NYU sponsored programs with an award maximum of $2,400. For Non-NYU sponsored programs, funding may be significantly less and will be determined by the OSA based on the submitted application.

Please refer to the International Opportunities database to get a list of potential programs (NYU sponsored and Non-NYU sponsored). Distribution of money will be determined by the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) and is dependent upon submission of all required materials. Funding may be revoked for incomplete projects.

• Pinkerton Foundation
  The Pinkerton Foundation established an endowment that the School of Medicine uses to provide awards to our preclinical students who participate in outstanding international health research, public health, and/or epidemiological projects.
• Milton B. Rosenbluth Foundation Travel Grant
  The Rosenbluth Foundation awards clinical students who undertake an elective clinical/research project for a minimum of one month in a developing county with a travel grant up to $2,000.
