MRC/DFID/NIHR Call for research to improve adolescent health in LMIC settings
The Medical Research Council (MRC), the UK Government Department of Health, and National Institutes of Health Research (NIHR), have launched a call for research to improve adolescent health in LMIC settings. Together the three funders have agreed to commit up to £10 million to this scheme.
This call for proposals seeks to provide the research evidence needed to effect real and practical changes to improve adolescent health in Low and Middle Income Countries.
Proposals should identify clearly the health issues and/or risk factors to be addressed. Applicants should describe the pathway for how the proposed approach can be scalable, as well as highlighting any potential generalizability of findings to improve the health of adolescents in other settings. Proposals should demonstrate how outcomes could be implemented within systems and seek to engage with related social and economic barriers within these systems. We encourage genuine interdisciplinary collaborations across social science, biomedical science and other disciplines.
Applications will be accepted from Principal Investigators based at organisations either in the UK or in Low, Lower-middle and Upper-middle income countries.
