The Medical Research Council, in partnership with the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD)opens in new window, is seeking to generate new knowledge on interventions and their implementation for the prevention and management of chronic lung diseases in low- and middle-income countries.

Outline Proposals must be submitted via the JeS System opens in new window by 4pm on Tuesday, 15 September 2015.
Background:This request for applications is issued under the auspices of the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD). Members of the GACD include the:
Australian National Health and Medical Research Council Canadian Institutes of Health Research Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Research & Innovation Directorate General of the European Commission Indian Council of Medical Research National Institutes of Health in the United States of America UK Medical Research Council South African Medical Research Council Mexico’s National Institutes of Health Thailands’ Health System Research Institute The following principles of the GACD are reflected in this request for applications:
Committed to improving health gains while reducing health disparities in LMICs. Focused on research topics where the need for evidence to inform policy, programmes and practice is most urgent. Pursuing knowledge translation and exchange approaches that are designed to maximise the public health benefits of research findings. Identifying common approaches for implementation, integration and scaling up within different health systems. It is expected that learning from individual projects will provide evidence that will support local decision-making. Cumulative learning across funded projects is expected to provide a basis for evidence-informed recommendations for national and international organisations.
Aim: With the burden of chronic non-communicable diseases rapidly increasing, the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD)opens in new window is launching a call for proposals with a focus on implementation research which examines interventions that aim to prevent and/or manage chronic lung diseases in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC (as defined by The World Bankopens in new window)).
Through the launch of a global call the GACD aims to develop a global network of researchers that can enhance the cumulative learning across the individual projects, and work towards understanding how socio-economic, cultural, geopolitical and policy contexts have influenced results and how findings might be adapted and applied in different settings.
The funded researchers will form part of a Network which will meet annually to discuss their research and share information in order to develop approaches to standardise data collection, and wherever feasible to use these standardised approaches in their respective projects.
