Restricted call: NIHR Global Health Research Groups (Cambridge's internal deadline: 24th August; NIHR deadline: 20th October 2017)

New NIHR call for internationally-outstanding applied global health research to benefit people’s health in low and middle-income countries across the globe and build research capacity.

Following the success of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) 2016/17 call for Global Health Research Units and Groups (33 research units and groups received over £120 million funding for global health research), NIHR are inviting a second round of applications from existing specialist academic groups who wish to expand into the field of global health. These are intended to be multi-disciplinary groups, led by a specialist academic group at a UK university or research institute in collaboration with partners in ODA-eligible low and middle income countries on the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list . The research should be directly and predominantly relevant to improving the health needs of patients and the public in these countries. 

Awards of up to £2M over three years are available under this call.

The information about the remit and further guidance is available here and a webinar is being held to support this call on 25th July 2017 at 1.30-2.30pm (please register here).

UK research organisations can submit a maximum of two Global Health Research Group applications under this call; please contact researchstrategy@admin.cam.ac.ukfor more information on the University's internal selection.
