We have an exciting opportunity for people with lived experience based in low-and-middle- income countries to get involved with the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) as funding committee members and reviewers, and we’d very much appreciate your help.
The NIHR is funded by the UK government and is a major funder of high quality global health research. Our next research programme is the Research and Innovation for Global Health Transformation (RIGHT) Call 6, which is focused on research to prevent, treat and manage multiple long-term conditions in low-and-middle-income countries. Please see this link for further information on the funding call: https://www.nihr.ac.uk/explore-nihr/funding-programmes/research-and-inno...
We are looking for people with lived-experience as a patient, carer or healthcare service-user, living with two or more long-term health conditions who are willing to share their insights and perspectives and review some of our Global Health research applications on this topic.
Please share this opportunity with others who might be interested as their insights, ideas and lived experience can help shape research that is important to them, and improve healthcare services for some of the most vulnerable and marginalised communities.
The role of public committee member or reviewer involves reading funding proposals and providing a written feedback and summary of reflections.
For further information about the roles and how to apply is available using this link: https://www.nihr.ac.uk/documents/community-public-partners-involved-in-n...
If you have any questions about the opportunities please contact Razina Hussain at ccfceiATnihr.ac.uk
The deadline for submitting completed applications is 5 February 2023.
Thank you and best wishes,
Razina
