UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)1) Deliver the UK's ambition to be internationally outstanding in global health research, improving the lives of people in LMICs. 2) Create an environment where world-class global health research, focused on the needs of LMICs can thrive. 3) Translate advances in applied global health research into benefits for patients and the public in LMICs. 4) Focus on priority areas which will have the greatest impact on health in LMICs in the short, medium and long term. 5) Provide high quality research evidence to inform decision-making by public health officials, practitioners and policy makers. 6) Increase the volume and quality of multi-disciplinary global health research from the UK. 7) Develop knowledge and capacity within existing UK institutions which can be translated into global health research practice. 8) Retain a level of responsive research capacity to address emerging global health research requirements (Units only).
UK Vaccine Network
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)The UK Vaccine Network project is a £110 million ODA-funded project which makes targeted investments to support the development of new vaccines and vaccine technologies for emergent infectious disease threats in low and middle-income countries. This will allow outbreaks of diseases with epidemic potential to either be prevented through proactive vaccination campaigns or controlled through quick development of new vaccines and/or responsive vaccination campaigns upon outbreak detection. An investment strategy for the project was developed using advice from the UK Vaccine Network, a group of experts from academia, industry, government and philanthropic organisations, chaired by the DHSC Chief Scientific Adviser

NIHR Research and Innovation for Global Health Transformation: Call 1
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)1. Deliver research for the primary benefit to the health and welfare of the poorest individuals living in LMICs, typically through research for the prevention of ill health and optimal disease management, in three research areas: (1) Epilepsy (2) Infection-related cancers (3) Severe stigmatising skin diseases. 2. Strengthen capacity for research and knowledge exchange through equitable partnerships between researchers in the UK and LMICs. 3. Promote interdisciplinary approaches to working (including, but not limited to: clinical, health economics, statistics, qualitative and social sciences), to ensure that research objectives can be delivered.

NIHR-Wellcome Global Health Research Partnership
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)The aim of the partnership between DHSC Global Health Research and Wellcome is to support high quality applied global health research in areas of mutual interest, with the following components: 1. Develop and deliver a portfolio of Fellowships for applicants from low and middle-income countries (LMICs) using the established Wellcome Trust International Fellowship scheme, expanding this to encourage applications in targeted areas where skills shortages have been identified, which align with the priority areas of DHSC global health research and Wellcome and where there is an identified need to build research capability (skills gap). The first areas under discussion are global mental health, non-communicable diseases, snake bite and multimorbidity. 2. Support Major Awards in eligible global health research areas (through Collaborative Awards, Investigator Awards and Senior Research Fellowship schemes) in collaboration with the Wellcome Science Division where NIHR co-funds a small number of joint NIHR-Wellcome awards (50:50) in strategically relevant areas. 3. Support a policy-uptake initiative with Wellcome Global Health Policy to facilitate global health research uptake into policy and practice.

This support will be coordinated with support from other donors, ensuring it adds value and is sustainable, identifies and responds to gaps, complements support from others and aligns behind nationally identified priorities. Implementation of UK support will be led by Public Health England, but may include contracting and working through UN agencies where appropriate and where this will maximise value for money.
