Concerned by the growing research gap and high child mortality, the 捆绑SM社区 Global Child Health Program (GCHP) is launching this call for applications for research proposals and quality improvement projects on child health in low and lower-middle income countries (LMICs). The grants have been categorized to target students and health professionals separately.
The funding provided for this competitive grant is up to CAD$3,000 per proposal. Applicants need to submit a scientific project proposal with execution achievable within one (1) year. The proposal should demonstrate how this research will contribute to the current evidence on child health, and support the achievement of . Additionally, the project should be feasible given the funds available (through GCHP and/or other funders), justified by its potential impact in the local and global lens, and demonstrate clear and realistic outcome measures with an effective knowledge mobilization plan.
The research proposals will be particularly assessed for their novelty, practicability, evidence-based rationale, and relevance to child health. Competitive preference will be given to applications that 1) foster interdisciplinary research, and 2) have more junior researchers in the research team. The submissions will be independently reviewed by the grants sub-committee.
Applicants should be training or working in one of the following health fields: Community Healthcare, Medicine, Midwifery, Nursing, Occupational and Physical Therapy, Pharmacy, Public Health or any other healthcare professions. Individual and group (max. 5 members) applications are welcome. If requested, and subject to the availability of mentors, the GCHP is able to match successful applicants with 捆绑SM社区 Faculty for academic mentorship throughout the research period. Kindly note that you can only submit one proposal as a primary applicant.
Grant recipients may require ethical approval and, if so, evidence of the approval will be requested. For awardees requiring ethical approval, majority of the funds will be withheld until the approval is obtained. If ethical approval is not granted, the award may be withdrawn. The grant recipients will be prompted for quarterly updates and are expected to submit a report of the project to the GCHP within three (3) months of project completion. Recipients will give credit to the GCHP on any publications and presentations arising from the work done with this grant.
