NIHRtv
This video is a webinar from the UK's National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) about its Global Health Policy & Systems Research (Global HPSR) Programme, specifically focusing on a researcher-led funding call [00:09, 08:08].
Here is a summary of the key topics discussed:
- Program Overview: The webinar introduces the NIHR's global health research portfolio, which aims to fund high-quality applied health research for the direct and primary benefit of low and middle-income countries (LMICs) [05:44].
- Call Aims & Scope: The researcher-led call aims to fund applied research that strengthens health policies, services, and systems in LMICs [12:38]. The scope is broad, covering areas like governance, financing, health workforce, and service delivery at micro, meso, and macro levels [14:18, 14:50].
- Eligibility:
- Applications require two joint leads, either from two LMIC institutions or one LMIC and one UK institution [16:49, 17:32].
- Awards are for up to 4 years and between £1-4 million [11:57].
- All proposals must meet Official Development Assistance (ODA) eligibility criteria, demonstrating direct benefit to LMICs [15:35].
- Selection Criteria: Applications are judged on the relevance of the research, research excellence, the strength and equity of the partnership, capacity strengthening plans, community and stakeholder engagement, potential for impact and sustainability, and value for money [20:52].
- Application Process:
- Finance & Budget: The webinar provides detailed guidance on eligible costs, including staff costs, equipment, and specific rules for training and studentship costs (distinguishing between LMIC and high-income country students) [43:03, 46:59].
- Hints & Tips: Applicants are advised to have a clear vision, strong project management, and genuine partnerships [39:35]. They should avoid being overly ambitious, ensure all parts of the call remit are met, and write a clear plain English summary [40:54].
The webinar concludes with a Q&A session (not detailed in the summary) and a reminder of contact details for further inquiries [53:01].

概要
重要ポイント
- 1Applications must clearly demonstrate how the proposed research will directly and primarily benefit people in ODA-eligible countries.
- 2Equitable partnerships between LMIC and UK institutions are crucial, with opportunities for LMIC institutions to lead projects.
- 3Capacity strengthening activities, both in research and research-enabling areas, are highly encouraged to ensure sustainable research outcomes.
- 4Applications should address a significant policy, health system, or service gap and demonstrate a clear pathway to impact and sustainability.
- 5The budget must be well-justified, representing good value for money and proportionate to the planned research activities.
- 6Applicants must submit a mandatory Intent to Submit form via the REALMS system by the specified deadline.
- 7Applications should adopt a whole systems approach, considering multiple levels (micro, meso, macro) and wider determinants of health.

The webinar introduces the Global Health Policy and Systems Research (Global HPSR) Programme Researcher-led Call. It highlights that slides and recordings will be shared, and Q&A will be circulated. Housekeeping rules are outlined, including muted microphones and cameras, recording of the webinar, and the use of Q&A and Chat buttons.
The webinar agenda includes an overview of the Global Health Research portfolio, a detailed look at the Global Health Policy and Systems Research programme and the Researcher-led Call, eligibility and selection criteria, the application process, hints and tips, finance guidance, and a Q&A session.
The NIHR's mission is to improve the health and wealth of the nation through research. It funds high-quality research, engages patients and the public, trains researchers, invests in infrastructure, and partners with other funders. The Global Health Research programme, initiated in 2015, aligns with these principles.
The aims are to invest in applied health research relevant to the unmet needs of communities in LMICs, work collaboratively with global health partners, and train and develop future research leaders to build research capacity. All efforts aim to deliver sustainable research.
The portfolio consists of Programmes, Partnerships, and People. Health Policy and Systems Research is one of the programmes. Partnerships involve collaborations with other UK and international funders. The People workstream funds researchers through programmes and partnerships. All research must meet ODA compliance criteria and strengthen research capacity.
This slide provides a visual of the various calls that have been running throughout the year through the NIHR, including Units, Groups, Research for Innovation, Global Health Transformation, and Global Health Research Centres. The Researcher-led Global Health Policy and Systems Research call is the last call for the year.
