A curated listing of global health funding opportunities.
About
The Discovery Research programme provides funding for early-career researchers from any discipline who are ready to develop their research identity. Through innovative projects, they will deliver shifts in understanding related to human life, health and wellbeing. By the end of the award, they will be ready to lead their own independent research programme.
criteria
- Funding amount: salary and up to £400,000 for research expenses.
- Funding duration: Usually 5 years (but may be less for some disciplines)
The Polio Research Committee is calling for research proposals supporting the Polio Endgame Strategy 2022-2026. Research proposals supporting the strategic plan may be submitted to the Committee for review and funding. Preference will be given to proposals developed by GPEI partner agencies and their research collaborators. However, other institutions may also submit proposals if they address the research priorities.
The current priority of the Polio Research Committee is to generate new data or information in the following areas: vaccine schedule immunogenicity, surveillance, product development, epidemiology and virology, monitoring and evaluation, basic immunology and poliovirus containment.
Awards
Awards range from USD 50,000 to USD 300,000
Submission of proposals
Submissions should be sent to polioresearch@who.int and include the completed application form.
