NIHR Global Health Research Groups: Call 5
Project disclaimer
Description
The NIHR's fifth Global Health Research call for Groups. UK universities and research institutes were invited to submit applications, working in equitable partnerships with researchers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) eligible to receive Official Development Assistance (ODA), to develop their ambitions to deliver world-class applied global health research to address under-funded or under-researched global health areas specific to those countries. The partnerships support both identified training and capacity needs for academy research and programme support functions in low resource settings. Together these provide an important, sustainable platform for future research and resilience in those countries. Global Health Research Group funding is available to research groups either new to delivering applied health research globally or that wish to expand an existing partnership into new themes and geographies. Through this call, awards up to £3 million over a period of up to four years are available to NIHR Global Health Research Groups.
Objectives
The Global Health Research Groups programme has six key strategic aims: 1. Build global research capacity by supporting specialist UK researchers to pivot to global health through new equitable and diverse UK and low- and middle-income country (LMIC) partnerships. 2. Support UK-LMIC partnerships seeking to scale-up or expand research programmes into new health areas and/or geographies. 3. Deliver programmes of high quality applied global health research targeted at the needs of people in LMICs, including e.g., scoping studies, needs analyses, economic and/or health system analyses, pilot studies and potentially trials. 4. Generate robust new scientific evidence that will improve health outcomes for people in low resource settings through improving practice and informing policy. 5. Create pathways to develop research leaders of the future. 6. Strengthen research management capability and institutional sustainability in partner countries.
