Institute for implementation science and health (IISH) invites research grant applications for the prevention or management of Hypertension OR Cervical Cancer in Nepal from Nepali early career investigators and graduate students.

Purpose

The purpose of the grant award is two-fold: first, to promote implementation research methods to translate evidence-based interventions into real-life for prevention and management of hypertension and cervical cancer in Nepal (one application can address either hypertension or cervical cancer) And second, to build the capacity of local Nepali researchers to grant writing, implementation research administration and manuscript publication.

Scope

The overarching objective of this funding opportunity is to improve hypertension and cervical cancer prevention and management in local context. This can include either formative research to design/ modify interventions, stakeholder engagement, intervention studies to measure process outcomes, evaluation of ongoing interventions or hybrid designs to include classical health science studies along with implementation science outcomes.
