Metanexus Global Network Initiative--Catalyst Grant Program

Graduate, Postdoctoral

The goal of MGNI is to provide an opportunity for the world's leading thinkers to supplement their current focus of study with interdisciplinary research. Working in teams across disciplines, participants will address the myriad angles of a single question, or a series of questions, through focused research. For participants, it is an opportunity to advance their own intellectual journey in an extraordinary way, while advancing society's understanding of the most complex questions of the universe.

Eligibility:

To apply for a grant, a group must consist of five or more qualified persons, and must be interdisciplinary in nature. It is unlikely that applications from groups of fewer than five initial members will be selected.
The applicant group should consist of university-affiliated scholars who together can demonstrate a well-balanced diversity of disciplinary expertise in areas of scientific, philosophical and religious concern as well as an eagerness to transcend the disciplinary boundaries of knowledge. Such groups could encompass committees of faculty, individuals from interdisciplinary programs or departments, groups of clinicians and students in the practice of medicine, and new initiatives within organizations specifically designed to advance transdisciplinary projects.
The group chair or, in the case of applications from graduate students, a responsible co-chair, should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree.
The applicant group that receives an MGNI grant must operate as, or be under the auspices of, a not-for-profit institution. In most cases, this will be a college or university.
Independently operating organizations must consist of well-qualified college or university faculty or be clearly linked to a college or university.

Award Amount:

The program awards three-year grants of $30,000 paid in annual installments of $10,000 to support the program costs of globally networked, locally acting Metanexus groups who are dedicated to exploring the fundamental questions of life, the universe and humanity through the lens of multiple disciplines.

The Voyager Scholarship

An increasingly globalized world needs young leaders who can bridge divides and help solve our biggest challenges together.

The Voyager Scholarship was created by the Obamas and Brian Chesky, Airbnb Co-founder and CEO, to help shape such leaders. Even though they come from different backgrounds, both the President and Brian believe that exposure to new places and experiences generates understanding, empathy, and cooperation which equips the next generation to create meaningful change.

Eligibility:

Plan to enroll full-time in their junior year of study at an accredited four-year college or university in the United States in Fall 2023. Eligible students are: Finishing sophomore year in Spring 2023. Applicants should be considered “juniors” based on the total number of earned credits at their institution by Fall 2023. Or transferring from a two-year to a four-year college for their 2023-2024 junior academic year
Have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or equivalent
Have demonstrated a commitment to public service
Plan to pursue a career in public service upon graduation
Be a United States (US) citizen, US permanent resident (holder of a Permanent Resident Card), or an individual granted deferred action status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program (DACA)

Award Amount:

Students will receive up to $25,000 per year in “last dollar” financial aid for their junior and senior years of college. This financial aid should alleviate the burden of college debt so that students can afford to pursue a career in public service.
Students will receive a $10,000 stipend and Airbnb travel credit to pursue a summer work-travel experience between their junior and senior year of college. The students will design their own Summer Voyage to gain exposure to new communities and experience in a chosen field.
After graduation, Airbnb will provide the students with a $2,000 travel credit every year for 10 years, totaling $20,000. This will allow students to continue to broaden their horizons and forge new connections throughout their public service careers.

Whitaker International Fellowship

The Whitaker International Program sends emerging leaders in U.S. biomedical engineering (or bioengineering) overseas to undertake a self-designed project that will enhance their own careers within the field.

Please see website for details.

Eligibility:

Have a Bachelor's or Master's degree in biomedical engineering (or bioengineering) by the start of the grant period. If you are at an institution that does not offer a formalized BME program, an applicant should have a demonstrated commitment to the field of BME. Significant coursework, research, laboratory/work experience are some of the ways to demonstrate such commitment.
Have NOT received a doctorate by the grant start date.
Have U.S. citizenship, or are a permanent legal resident of the U.S.
Have language ability to carry out the proposed project in the host country at the time of departure.
Are currently enrolled or have obtained your most recent degree within three years of your proposed start date.
