Dear Neil,
Thank you for agreeing to post the following message in your communications to all HIFA members.
We have another exciting opportunity for people with lived experience based in low and middle income countries to get involved with the National Institute for Health Research (https://www.nihr.ac.uk/) as funding committee members and reviewers, and we’d very much appreciate your help.
We have just launched our next research programme Research and Innovation for Global Health Transformation (RIGHT) Call 5 (https://www.nihr.ac.uk/funding/research-and-innovation-for-global-health...), which is focused on strengthening health service delivery and resilience in low and middle income countries (LMICs) in the context of extreme weather events.
Do you know anyone with relevant experience that would be interested in joining us and giving their recommendations on which research proposals to fund?
Please share this opportunity with your network as their insights, ideas and lived experience can help shape research that is important to them, and improve healthcare services for some of the most vulnerable and marginalised communities.
The role of public committee member or reviewer involves reading funding proposals and providing a written feedback and summary of reflections. We offer payment for involvement, to say thank you for contributions.
An Expression of Interest Form will need to be completed and submitted to us by Monday 19 May 2022.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this in more detail, please get in touch with Razina Hussain at ccfcei@nihr.ac.uk.
Thank you and best wishes,
Razina
