Deadline: 17-Feb-22
The Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research (the Alliance) is inviting proposals for the Developing Online Modules for Alliance Teaching and Training to promote the generation and use of health policy and systems research (HPSR) as a means of strengthening health systems in low- and middle income countries (LMICs).
The Alliance seeks to develop an initial set of four online modules based on its essential concepts:
- Introduction to HPSR
- Systems thinking
- Evidence synthesis
- Participatory leadership
The selected individual or small team will work closely with the Alliance Secretariat. The individual/team will review Alliance core documents (including its readers, flagship reports, practical guides and toolkits) to develop module content. Each module should consist of learning objectives, main content, essential readings, knowledge check quizzes, and other information as needed. Each module should last approximately 1-1.5 hours.
The modules must also be accompanied by an overview that covers the modules’ purpose, scope, content, use and utility. The expected audience for these modules is Alliance partners and other interested parties – including students, district health officers, programme managers and other health systems actors interested in HPSR concepts.
Modules will be completed (content developed, approved and uploaded to the online platform) on a rolling basis. All modules are expected to be completed by September 2022.
Eligibility Criteria
Individuals and small teams submitting proposals to this call must demonstrate a mix of core competencies, including:
- Master’s degree in relevant field (i.e., public health, social science, communication, education)
- Proven expertise in teaching and facilitation, curriculum development and online pedagogy
- At least three years of relevant experience in LMIC settings
- Excellent communication skills, and effective presentation skills
There are no geographic requirements for this call for proposals, though individuals/teams from LMICs are encouraged to apply. Teams with a gender balance and/or led by women are also encouraged to apply.
Selection Process
Proposals will be evaluated against the following criteria:
- Demonstrated understanding of concept, and suitable proposal
- Organizational capabilities and team composition
- Appropriateness of budget, and value for money
Following a review of the proposals, shortlisted proposals may be invited to a brief interview.
