Now open for applications! We’re looking for intersectoral teams using implementation science to bridge the gap between evidence and real-world health impact.
About the Award
The Lancet-Elsevier Foundation Evidence to Impact Award is dedicated to supporting research projects that address pressing health challenges worldwide. Emphasizing implementation science, the award seeks to bridge the gap between scientific evidence and practical application, with the goal of fostering health improvements that are sustainable and adaptable, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
Today’s health landscape faces complex challenges – from rising non-communicable diseases and infectious diseases to malnutrition and healthcare access gaps. Traditional approaches often fall short of delivering scalable, long-lasting solutions. The Evidence to Impact Awards aim to highlight the importance of implementation science – an approach focused on translating research into practical, context-specific strategies that have the potential to drive systemic change across diverse settings.
We believe that meaningful progress is rooted in collaboration – bringing together researchers, healthcare providers, policymakers and local champions, working together to turn evidence into impactful health solutions...
