Throughout its history, the China Medical Board has adopted a policy of not accepting unsolicited grant proposals. Thus, inquiries or unsolicited proposals may not receive an expeditious reply. The rationale is straightforward—CMB's strategic grant-making is highly focused on targeted activities to advance its mission. In its earliest phase, the China Medical Board devoted nearly all of its financing to Peking Union Medical College. Since 1950, the China Medical Board’s grant-making has been targeted at key Chinese and Asian universities. CMB encourages international groups wishing to work in China to establish relationships directly with CMB-affiliated Chinese and Asian institutions.
This three-year project budgeted at $820,000 under the collaboration of the Peking Union Medical College and CMB will attempt to develop an in-China training program to expand significantly the pool of young faculty in the 13 CMB-affiliated medical universities able to conduct high-quality multidisciplinary research in health policy and health systems.
