Consultation

Do you have a potential grant idea? Please get in touch!

TigerWell is partnering with Health Promotion and Prevention Services (HPPS) in UHS to provide consultation and resources about well-being to prospective and current grantees. Because TigerWell’s mission includes increasing coordination of wellbeing efforts across campus, fostering new partnerships, and promoting best practices, consulting with TigerWell and HPPS early in the process can help you to strengthen your application and maximize your chances of success. Potential Partnership Grantees are required to consult with TigerWell prior to submission.
