Deadline: 15 August 2016
The Public Health Foundation of India in collaboration with the Alliance for Health Policy & Systems Research (AHPSR), the Special Programme for Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP), and the Special Program for Research and Training on Tropical Diseases (TDR) is currently seeking letters of intent for research that seeks to enable the effective implementation of health programmes in India.
Implementation Research is a broad field that can address any aspect of implementation, including factors that influence implementation, the implementation process or implementation outcomes. It includes many types of studies using a wide range of approaches including qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods. Implementation Research’s main focus on finding actionable solutions to real problems faced by health systems requires it to pay special attention to context, since implementation issues often arise as a result of contextual factors that policy-makers and health system managers may not even have considered.
Funding Information and Duration
Grants of US dollars $10,000 will be available to support research studies of up to 12 months in duration.
