The World Health Organization (WHO) Noncommunicable Disease Department and the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research invite proposals for implementation research that addresses integrated service delivery for the prevention and management of NCDs in low- or middle-income countries (LMICs).
This call is tailored to the needs of implementers in LMICs, to support their desire to conduct implementation research, address implementation bottlenecks, and ultimately sustainably scale-up NCD care.
The Principal Investigator (PI) must be a researcher based in a research institution in a LMIC. Priority will be given to countries engaged in existing capacity-strengthening activities for NCD-related implementation research (Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Myanmar, and Nepal). Other LMIC countries will be considered based on strength of the proposal and funding opportunities.
Eligibility
- The Principal Investigator (PI) must be a researcher based in a research institution in a low- or middle-income country. Priority will be given to countries engaged in existing capacity-strengthening activities for NCD-related implementation research (Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Myanmar, Nepal).
- Teams must be gender-balanced with women comprising at least 50% of the research team. Teams must have the ability to engage directly with and coproduce the research with national or subnational health policy-makers. Teams must, in their proposals, be able to demonstrate their plans for engaging with policy-makers.
