Proposal; New programme on implementation research

The Norwegian forum for Global Health Research calls for policy makers and funders to:

1. Support research that will generate robust knowledge on the effective implementation of healthcare interventions with proven efficacy, and

2. Strengthen the capacity in Norwegian and partner institutions in low and middle income countries for implementation research and contribute to the international initiatives in the field.

Call for Abstracts - First Global Symposium on Health Systems Research

The call for abstracts for the First Global Symposium on Health Systems Research is now open, until the 30 April 2010!

Researchers, policy-makers, representatives of donor and multinational organizations, and other stakeholders representing diverse constituencies will gather in Montreux, Switzerland to share evidence, identify significant knowledge gaps, and set a research agenda aimed at accelerating universal health coverage. 

While experience from all countries is sought, travel support for selected abstracts from low- and middle-income countries will be available.
