About the GYA Sasha Kagansky Interdisciplinary Grant

The GYA includes a diverse membership of scientists and scholars, in many disciplines, based in low/middle-income countries and high-income countries. This grant scheme was initiated in 2014, aiming to foster collaboration across the lines that often separate researchers and limit possibilities. Specifically, this scheme facilitates the development of small-scale, innovative, curiosity-driven, blue-sky, exploratory research pilots or prototypes that unite researchers in low/middle-income countries and high-income countries and cross disciplinary boundaries. The Sasha Kagansky Interdisciplinary Grant, awarded annually, was re-named in 2021 in honor of late GYA member Alexander (Sasha) Kagansky.

 

Current and past GYA Interdisciplinary Grant projects:

2021/22: Young Researchers and the COVID-19 Pandemic
2020/21: The COVID-19 pandemic and art
2019/20: Citizen Science for Reducing Exposure to Urban Air Pollution
