The International Health Section of APHA in collaboration with Colgate Palmolive is pleased to announce the availability of a small grants program to support young faculty and students in schools of public health or tertiary institutions with an established public health program to carry out community-based field research in behavioral hygiene. These competitive grants will be awarded for community- based research projects investigating the role of hygiene (especially hand washing with soap) in personal and community health and infection control, including investigations about the knowledge of proper hygiene habits, hygiene motivation and behavior change. The research should focus on mothers, families and children in resource-poor settings. Each award will be in the range of $10,000 - $15,000. A total of $30,000 is available to support this initiative each year. This is the third year that these grants have been offered.
