Call for Letters of Intent - Grants Programme for Implementation Research - Apply by 31 MayFunds for Research Institutes Activities:
Others Call for Letters of Intent -Grants Programme for Implementation Research Deadline: 31 May 2017 India has made significant progress in reducing under five, neonatal and infant mortality rates and maternal mortality ratio. However, the rates are still very high in many parts of the country. Under the National Health Mission (NHM) of Govt. of India, evidence based interventions that improve maternal and child survival are being promoted. Many challenges are being faced by programme managers while implementing these interventions / programmes. To achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3, efforts are needed to reach health care for all by ensuring implementation of known interventions, developing better means of delivery of the existing interventions to address health issues of mothers and children specifically in states with high mortality rates, identifying bottleneck in delivery of health care and finding solutions to remove the bottle necks. “Implementation research is the scientific inquiry into questions concerning implementation—the act of carrying an intention into effect, which in health research can be policies, programmes, or individual practices (collectively called interventions).” IR can consider any aspect of implementation - including the factors affecting implementation, the processes of implementation, and the results of implementation, including how to introduce potential solutions into a health system or how to promote their large scale use and sustainability. The intent is to understand what, why, and how interventions work in “real world” settings and to test approaches to improve them. National Implementation Research platform: Realising the need and relevance, a national platform for technical support for implementation research (IR) has been created to address maternal and child health issues including nutrition. This platform aims to provide opportunity to frame implementation research in the most useful and imaginative way to contribute to effective scale up of MNCH care. Research priorities for letter of intent: The ICMR- INCLEN had undertaken a nationwide exercise for priority setting for the country involving all stake holders including academia, public health, policy makers and programme managers. Top priority research questions under the domain of implementation science in the field of maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition based on scrutiny of the INCLEN list and feedback received from other stakeholders arranged in order of priority are selected for inviting LOIs. Under this call, letter of intent is invited in the following key priority areas of maternal and newborn health) for conducting implementation research studies contextually relevant to address any of the priority research questions mentioned in the list. The following three types of research studies will be considered: ï‚· New implementation research studies; ï‚· Within ongoing studies, additional implementation research; ï‚· Analyses of relevant existing datasets and policy analyses as part of routine reporting systems under M&E.
