Call for proposals: enhancing capacity to apply research evidence in policy making
The Wellcome Trust and the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research recognise the importance of using health research evidence in policy making. This joint call for proposals is focused on low-income countries and is intended to build much-needed capacity to strengthen links between research and policy making.
Proposals are invited from groups based in low-income countries to:
develop and implement innovative interventions that enhance policy maker capacity and/or civil society capacity to employ health policy and systems research evidence in policy making and policy dialogue
- conduct rigorous evaluations of the strategies employed.
All proposals must address both of these objectives.
Brief expressions of interest should be submitted to the Alliance by 16 January 2009. More information and details on the application process may be found .
