Support Team - Providing evidence to strengthen health systems in low and middle income countries - deadline 14 february

The programme’s aims are to fund methodologically rigorous, high-quality research that will:

• generate evidence on how to strengthen and improve health systems for people living in low and middle income countries (LMIC). This may include addressing the structure and dynamics of health systems as a whole, improving the long-term resilience of the health system, in addition to generating positive improvements to systems as currently structured.
• use a health systems approach to inform the delivery of evidence-based interventions or structural changes. Proposals must demonstrate how interventions relate to and affect wider elements of a health system such as governance, financing, health workforce, information systems, service delivery.
• expand the knowledge base in understanding the structure and dynamics of health systems and provide evidence that is of direct relevance to decision makers and practitioners in the field.
