Description
The UK Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) funds outstanding global health research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The NIHR Global Health Policy and Systems Research (Global HPSR) programme funds health policy and systems research that is directly and primarily of benefit to people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), to improve access to appropriate and affordable health services aligned with the aims of Universal Health Coverage and Sustainable Development Goal 3. Global HPSR Projects Call 1 supports applied health policy and systems research projects. UK and LMIC universities and research institutes were invited to submit applications including either a sole LMIC Lead Applicant, or two Joint Lead Applicants from either a LMIC or the UK, at least one of whom must be employed by a LMIC institution.
Objectives
To support applied Health Policy and Systems Research Projects which: 1) Will support new entrants to global health policy and systems research through smaller scale awards. 2) Have clearly defined questions which specifically target an identified health policy and/or system(s) challenge or evidence gap and set out how the outcome of the research will benefit vulnerable populations in LMICs. 3) Address priorities identified by and relevant to local stakeholders and policymakers, and deliver evidence and outcomes that will inform policy or change practice, for example informing local, regional or national strategies. 4) Have plans to involve relevant communities and stakeholders to ensure that research objectives address their needs. 5) Include research capacity development plans for LMIC partners that are proportionate and relevant to delivery of the proposed activities and include appropriate project management and financial/administrative support. 6) Support career development for research leaders of the future, e.g. through supporting less experienced researchers in LMICs to lead/jointly lead on the research proposal with effective mentoring and support from appropriate Co-Applicants.
