NIHR Global Health Research Groups: Call 4
Project disclaimer
Description
The NIHR's fourth 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 recieve 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 Reseach Group funding is available to research groups either new to delivering applied health research globally or that wish to expand an existing partnership. 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

Identify, evaluate and refine strategies to deliver Smoking cessation for people with severe mental illness in South Asia (SCIMITAR-SA) in mental health facilities, and develop a shortlist of relevant strategies for its wider rollout in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. 3. Deliver the intervention to people with severe mental illness via a randomised controlled trial to compare tobacco use and severe mental health between recipients and non-recipients at 6 and 12 months.
