LMIC: Opportunity to get involved with the National Institute for Health and Care Research, UK

Hello,

We have an exciting opportunity for people with lived experience based in low and middle income countries to get involved with the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) as funding committee members and reviewers, and we’d very much appreciate your help.

The NIHR is funded by the UK government and is a major funder of high quality global health research. Our next research programme is the Research and Innovation for Global Health Transformation (RIGHT) Call 5 , which is focused on strengthening health service delivery and resilience in low and middle income countries (LMICs) in the context of extreme weather events.

Would you be interested in joining us and giving your recommendations on which research proposals to fund? We are looking for people with lived experience of extreme weather events. Your insights and ideas can help shape research that is important to people living in LMICs, and improve healthcare services for some of the most vulnerable and marginalised communities.

The role of public committee member or reviewer involves reading funding proposals and providing a written summary of reflections. We pay a fee for involvement as a way of thanking you for your support. 

Please complete the Expression of Interest Form and submit this to us by Monday 16 May 2022.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this in more detail, please get in touch with Razina Hussain at ccfcei AT nihr.ac.uk. 

Thank you and best wishes,

Razina
