The Global Health Research Professorship award is NIHR’s flagship career development award. It aims to fund research leaders to promote effective translation of research and to strengthen research leadership at the highest academic levels.

The Global Health Research Professorship programme supports outstanding academics to work at professorial level. The programme funds researchers undertaking research that aims to specifically and primarily benefit people in LMICs eligible for Official Development Assistance (ODA).

The award provides an extensive support package alongside the professorship, to include support posts, research costs and a leadership and development programme.

The scheme is open to all health, public health and social care research and methodology professions. Applicants must be nominated by their host institution, so see details of obligatory internal coordinated bid.
