The Global HPSR programme funds research to improve access to appropriate and affordable health services in ODA-eligible countries on the DAC list, aligned with the aims of Universal Health Care and Sustainable Development Goal 3. This is achieved through development of equitable partnerships between LMIC and UK research institutions where relevant, engagement of stakeholders to identify and address priorities for research in health policy and health systems, and by supporting capacity strengthening and knowledge sharing.
Global Health Policy and Systems Research Consortia should be ambitious programmes of research and capacity strengthening, delivered by multidisciplinary teams to ensure that objectives can be met. Commitment and support must be demonstrated for research and sustained capacity strengthening to continue beyond the end of award. Consortia should set out how the outcome of the research will benefit vulnerable populations in LMICs (on the DAC list).
Consortia will support research career pathways across partner institutions, as well as developing research leaders of the future.
