What we’re looking for

We’re looking for research projects that will develop practical solutions to global health challenges and inequities. The aim is to fund a portfolio of high-quality global research which will be diverse, promote multidisciplinarity and strengthen global health research capacity.

This includes:

– late-stage intervention development and testing, which can include global health trials

– implementation and scale-up research

– health systems, health policy and health economics research

We also welcome cross-sector research combining expertise to meet a global health challenge. For example, a single proposal may include aspects of urban planning, health policy and non-communicable disease research. The research question might involve different disciplines and approaches from outside the health sector, but the primary objective must be health focused.

The resources you request should be appropriate to the objectives of your proposal. We will accept proposals of all sizes, including large applications of approximately £2 million and small to medium-scale applications. We will take into account value for money when assessing proposals.

You can apply for funding to address any health topic of relevance in the context where the research will be conducted.

Examples of areas in which applied research may be conducted include, but are not limited to, the following:

– maternal and neonatal health

– early childhood development

– adolescent health

– healthy ageing

– sexual and reproductive health

– infectious diseases, including neglected tropical diseases and COVID-19

– non-communicable diseases, including mental health disorders

– multimorbidity

– nutrition and food security

– snakebite

– intentional and unintentional injury

– urban health, including indoor and outdoor air pollution, road traffic accidents and healthy housing

– planetary health

– informal settlements, conflict zones and displaced populations

– primary, secondary and tertiary prevention

– detection and diagnostics

– mHealth

– treatment, including surgery

– pain management and palliative care.
