NIHR is a major funder of high quality global health research that directly addresses the diverse health needs of people in low and middle income countries (LMICs). We invest in applied health research relevant to the unmet needs of LMIC communities, health system priorities and the evolving global burden of disease.
The Global Health Research portfolio is underpinned by three principles which guide development and delivery. These are:
Meet eligibility criteria as Official Development Assistance (ODA), i.e. funded research directly and primarily benefits people in ODA-eligible countries on the OECD DAC-list
Deliver high-quality applied health research, building on the Principles of the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR): Impact, Excellence, Effectiveness, Inclusion, Collaboration
Strengthen research capability and training through equitable partnerships
We are currently recruiting to the following Funding Committees:
NIHR Global Health Research Groups
NIHR Global Health Policy and Systems Research
NIHR Research and Innovation for Global Health Transformation (RIGHT) programme
These programmes provide funding to support not only delivery of research that will improve health outcomes for people living in LMICs, but also to strengthen crucial research capability and capacity in resource-poor settings, including training and capacity-strengthening in both academic research and programme support functions. Together these provide a vital and sustainable platform for future research in those countries.
NIHR embraces diversity and is committed to equality of opportunity and is keen to offer opportunities to those with experience from a wide range of geographical locations and contexts, and diverse backgrounds, particularly from applicants from within countries listed on the OECD DAC-list. In line with the International Development (Gender Equality) Act 2014 and the Equality Act 2010, as well as NIHR principles, we are committed to embedding equality, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our work.
Applications from individuals based in LMICs are welcome and encouraged.
