Deadline for applications: 15 March 2022.
Overview
We are seeking proposals for research that will strengthen the evidence base for public health interventions in humanitarian crises and contribute to better health outcomes for people affected by crisis.
Proposals will be context specific and driven by evidence needs identified by stakeholders in the crisis setting. Your research question will be informed by people affected by the humanitarian crisis. You must demonstrate a clear demand for the evidence from humanitarian operational organisations, policymakers or other evidence users.
Deadline: 15 March 2022.
What the fund will achieve
Funded studies must have a measurable, positive impact on improving the public health response during humanitarian crises. All research should be designed so that humanitarian stakeholders can and will access the evidence produced, understand it, trust it and be able to apply it to policy and/or practice. Research teams will need to be ‘positioned for impact’, with established stakeholder relationships in place or included as team members.
At a minimum your research consortium must include:
- a research institution from the country(s) or region(s) in which the study will take place
- an operational humanitarian organisation
- a Principal Investigator
- a research uptake focal point
