Call for Expressions of Interest: Africa Health Collaborative Research Fund 2025: (Deadline 19 February, 2025)
Applications are open for the Africa Health Collaborative Research Fund 2025. The key aim of the Health Collaborative Research Fund 2025 is to encourage and provide initial support for the development/expansion of high-quality research activities for Early Career Researchers (ECR) enabling principal investigators to subsequently apply for funding to support the next phase of their joint research that will result in greater impact.
The theme for this year’s grant is Health Systems Strengthening in Primary Health Care (Including public health, community health, and related areas) in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The Africa Health Collaborative (Health Collaborative) is a multistakeholder partnership dedicated to preparing diverse young people for the meaningful work of transforming health and well-being in Africa, through contextually appropriate and sustainable primary healthcare systems. The Health Collaborative strategically leverages higher education institutions as hubs of knowledge exchange, community engagement, and cross-sector partnerships for innovation and impact.
Funding
- Bilateral projects are eligible to receive up to $22,000 USD – with each institution awarding up to $11,000 USD to investigators at their home institution. (Multilateral proposals will be scaled up to $11,000 USD per institution).
Eligibility
- All proposals must be led by an Early Career Researcher from a Health Collaborative member institution and can be bilateral (2 ECRs between two Health Collaborative member partners) or multilateral (three ECRs between three or more member partners).
- Proposals must also include participation of masters, doctoral or post-doctoral trainees. Eligible applicants may only lead one application.
- If you do not have a co-applicant from a Health Collaborative member institution, your application will be shared publicly in a repository for you to identify potential co-applicant(s) to apply for the Fund.
- External collaborators (including researchers from other universities internationally, or those working in non-academic contexts such as community organizations, government, NGOs) cannot lead an application but can be involved in the proposed activities, where the benefit of their involvement to the collaboration is justified in the proposal.
Evaluation Criteria
A joint peer review committee with representatives from all member institutions will assess each proposal according to its academic merit using the following criteria:
- Project design and rationale
- Collaborator complementarity
- Potential translational impact and demonstrability of impact
- Capacity for future collaboration/funding
- Relevance and value of research project to Africa Health Collaborative activities
Deadline: 19 February, 2025
