Delivering challenge-led research that will primarily benefit the health and wealth of the poorest individuals living in low and middle income countries (LMICs), the incoming NIHR Research and Innovation for Global Health Transformation (RIGHT) programme is part of the nation’s commitment to Official Development Assistance (ODA) and complements recent investment in NIHR Global Health Research Groups and Units.

The initial challenges announced by this new programme are in three areas of unmet need and underinvestment in LMICs –

  • epilepsy,
  • infection-related cancer and
  • severe stigmatising skin diseases.

Full information will be released when the call opens on 21 June 2018.

Interest can be registered in advance by email.

Note that likely also to be announced on 21 June are NIHR calls in:

  • Digital Medicine
  • End of Life Care and
  • Precision Medicine
