Massachusetts Medical Society House of Delegates adopted Report: 411, A-01(D), which established an annual International Health Studies grant program to be administered by the Massachusetts Medical Society Alliance and Charitable Foundation (Foundation), with input from the Committees on Global Health and Medical Education.

Funding Priorities
- Their primary goal is to encourage international education, particularly focusing on underserved populations.
- Therefore, preference will be given to projects providing healthcare-related work and/or training of staff; and to applicants planning careers serving underprivileged populations around the world. Research projects that do not involve direct clinical care or teaching will not be considered.

Review Process
A review committee comprised of members of the Foundation Board of Directors and representatives from the MMS Committees on Global Health and Medical Education will review and evaluate all applications. Evaluation of each application allows for consideration of the applicant’s level of training as well as the applicant’s future career plans. They welcome applicants from the four medical schools in Massachusetts and associated residency training programs. The review committee will submit recommendations to the Foundation Board of Directors for grant consideration and final approval.
