The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation Student Award Program supports medical and doctoral students in Michigan who aim to improve health care within the state. Past successful programs have included applied research, pilot programs, demonstrations and evaluation projects. If multiple students are working on the same project, they will divide the grant award amount equally. We welcome applications from doctoral students in good academic standing who are either U.S. residents, Resident Aliens, or Holders of Student Visa enrolled at any accredited university. We review potential projects for their ability to achieve real outcomes. Successful projects will show a direct impact on health and/or health care. If your application is awarded and you are using human subjects or otherwise protected data, a copy of Human Subjects Review Committee approval is needed before we start your award. Please visit the award's website for more information about the award and the required materials.
