Small Grants for Big Impact
Upside Health Research Network is proud to offer small research grants to scholars and professionals who are exploring the intersection of social relationships and health. These grants are designed to support innovative projects that can make a real difference in understanding how our connections with others influence our health and well-being. By funding these initiatives, we help to build a body of knowledge that can inform public health strategies and interventions. First small grants will be available Spring 2026.
