“…..The purpose of this Call is to support implementation research that
contributes to the scale-up of effective health interventions related to
MDGs 4, 5 and 6 in one of the three priority areas described in the
following section. The research proposals may be submitted for one of the
following priority areas: ****

*
**i) Strategies to facilitate the integration of services to result in
improved health outcomes and greater efficiencies: *****

** **

*ii) Strategies to improve the performance of health workers (through
strengthened supervision and increased motivation) to deliver quality
services *****

*iii) Strategies for community engagement to increase awareness of, access
to, and utilization of health services, and provision of appropriate
services at the community level.

*****

The proposed research should seek to adopt a systems perspective which may
require a multi-disciplinary research team and the need to engage multiple
stakeholders, including the women and men at whom the services are
ultimately directed. In addition to ensuring a systems perspective,
research-study supported through this call should incorporate the following
considerations: ****

** **

- *Equity *– the proposed research should consider the potential benefit
and empowerment of vulnerable populations, particularly women and children.
****

** **

- *Innovation *– the proposed research should to respond to implementation
issues not previously addressed by other research and strive to use new
methods and approaches or apply existing methods in new ways. ****

** **

- *Capacity building *– the proposed research study should provide
opportunities to strengthen capacity for the conduct of research and use of
evidence for the implementation and scale up of effective interventions. It
should also ensure a gender balance in its capacity building activities. ***
*

*FUNDING *****

The size of the budget for each grant should be based on the scope and
focus of each research study appropriate for the setting the study will be
carried out. The budget for the 2-year research study cannot exceed US$ 350
000. Additional funding from other sources should be sought if the budget
is anticipated to exceed this amount. ****
