Dear HIFA colleagues and partners,
Re. Recruitment of CEI specialist reviewers for NIHR Global Health Research funding
The National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) is recruiting LMIC-based reviewers to help review applications for our latest Global Health Policy and Systems Research funding call from the perspective of community engagement and involvement (CEI) specialists.
CEI specialists are practitioners or academics with practical experience in leading, designing or implementing CEI activities in LMICs. For this call we are particularly looking for people with experience of implementing health policy within the community. They should have experience in engaging or working with:
- local community members
- people who have health conditions, disabilities, or who could be considered marginalised or vulnerable, including their families and carers
- influential stakeholders, such as:
- policy makers
- service providers
- community leaders
- community-based organisations (CBOs)
In line with NIHR’s vision and goals for CEI, we are seeking people with any experience of:
- a disease, condition, or health services as a patient, carer, or community member
- community engagement and involvement
- health-related research
- engaging with local policy makers and stakeholders
- implementing health policy within the community
Honoraria (compensation) for this activity are available for some non-academic, LMIC-based reviewers. This is assessed on an individual, case-by-case basis.
*To find out more, register via our CEI in global health research webpage
( https://www.nihr.ac.uk/researchers/i-need-help-funding-my-research/tips-... ),
or email our friendly CEI team on ceiglobalhealth@nihr.ac.uk <ceiglobalhealth@nihr.ac.uk>*
*Registration closes on Monday 30 September.*
We will promote this opportunity on X @NIHRglobal and LinkedIn, as well as via our monthly newsletter, and would be grateful if you could like and share.
NIHR champions the involvement of LMIC communities in all aspects of the research we fund, to improve its reach, quality and impact. Enabling patients and communities to have a genuine voice in global health research - from the funding process to study design, delivery and dissemination - is essential to achieving our ambition for long-term research impact and changing lives. We include community members and CEI experts in our research funding activities by asking representatives to join our funding committees and to review applications.
NIHR’s vision and goals for community engagement and involvement in global health research:
