Dear HIFA colleagues,
As mentioned, we have opened a new funding call - Research and Innovation for Global Health Transformation (RIGHT) 7 - to support targeted research to develop and evaluate interventions for the early detection and management of metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke in primary and community care settings in LMICs.
Thanks to those who have responded so far. To clarify, researchers in LMIC or UK research institutions or NGOs are eligible to apply (detailed criteria on the website) and we are particularly keen to attract applicants from LMICs. Please do share this opportunity through your networks.
Find out more and sign up for an applicants' webinar on 2 August on the NIHR website.

In parallel to the call launch, we are urgently seeking a Subject Matter Expert co-Chair. The closing date is next Saturday 22 July, and we're keen to extend this opportunity as widely as possible, especially in LMICs. If you know anyone who might be interested, please share it with them or through your country networks.

Key info:
As co-Chair you will be responsible for joint leadership of a major international scientific committee whose role is to assess and recommend funding for a substantial portfolio of applied global health research. Other responsibilities will include contributing to the development of relevant parts of the NIHR GHR funded portfolio. The Funding Committee is managed by the NIHR GHR secretariat who provide all the necessary support to the co-Chairs to facilitate their role.
The overall time commitment to the programme is estimated to be 10-12 days which includes preparation for and attendance at both virtual and face to face meeting and providing specific advice on funding call delivery. Subject Matter Experts will be appointed for the duration of the relevant thematic call, starting in October 2023. There is an honorarium of £7,500 associated with the role.
