Call for proposals: Implementation research on integrated care pathways to address NCDs and mental health conditions. Incentive Grants for Young Researchers from Low- and Middle-Income Countries

The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Noncommunicable Disease Platform, in collaboration with the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research, and the World Medical Association, is pleased to invite proposals from individual researchers who are enrolled in accredited academic institutions and conduct research projects as part of their graduate degree requirements.

The goal of this call is to provide incentive grants to build the capacity of young researchers working on, and ideally based in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to carry out implementation research to investigate integrated care pathways for the prevention and control of NCDs and mental health conditions, encompassing actions by the health sector and beyond for the whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches to generate knowledge and support the scaling-up of proven cost-effective interventions.

Priority will be given to researchers enrolled in LMIC institutions. The proposed projects should be completed within 12 months from the date the grant is awarded. Proposals beyond the scope of this call will not be reviewed.

Deadline for submission: 31 January 2025 (23:59 CET)

The proposals should be submitted in English.
