Federal Funding for International Research
thursday november 7, 2024 | 2:00 PM – 3:30 pm
Learn how to win federal funding for international research projects from a panel of experienced FSU researchers and staff. This workshop is aimed at FSU researchers with some experience writing competitive grants who want to learn about the specific quirks, challenges, and opportunities that arise for international research. Panelists include researchers with experience winning funding for international projects from USAID, NIH, and NSF, as well as FSU staff and affiliates knowledgeable about federal compliance requirements and priorities for international research.
Note: A calendar invitation with the Zoom webinar link will be distributed to pre-registrants. You may submit questions in advance when you register.

Dr. Henna Budhwani
Professor, FSU College of Nursing, Institute on Digital Health and Innovation (IDHI)
As an Implementation Scientist and socio-behavioral interventionist, Dr. Budhwani conducts studies to address the causes and consequences of disparities among stigmatized populations that experience adverse health outcomes in resource-constrained settings. Dr. Budhwani’s research is informed by sociological constructs, guided by human rights frameworks, and adopts a multidimensional view of addressing public health and clinical care gaps. She has methodological expertise in qualitative and mixed-methods research, mHealth and digital health interventions, and pragmatic clinical trial design. As a community-engaged scholar, she has conducted studies with a range of underserved or stigmatized populations in the United States and abroad across Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa.
Dr. Leslee Gilbert
Vice President, Van Scoyoc Associates
Dr. Gilbert has an extensive background in higher education, research, technology development and politics. She has over 20 years hands-on experience in the Washington policy-making process, and over 25 years of experience working in and with institutions of higher education.
