Global Health Research Centres: Learning Research Partner Call 2023
Deadline: 11th January 2023 , 13:00
The NIHR Policy Research Programme (PRP) invites applications for a Learning Research Partner to support, embed and advance methodological approaches – spanning monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL), research on research, and continuous improvement – across the first 3 years of the first cohort of NIHR Global Health Research Centres awards.
Specific aims of the Learning Research Partner will be to:
- exemplify the value of equitable and participatory MEL approaches through supporting the Centres, providing insights of good practice and facilitating the design and delivery of training activities
- work with Centres award-holders and NIHR programme teams to design and set up sustainable routes to enable shared learning and engagement in RCS, community engagement and involvement, knowledge management etc. through e.g. learning & training platforms, networking events, workshops, seminars and/or other events;
- facilitate the development of an overarching programme-level Centres MEL framework and strategy which is contextually-relevant and which both incorporates and supports Centres’ own development of participatory monitoring, evaluation and learning strategies and approaches at local level
- work collaboratively with Centres award-holders and wider partners to consider which topics are suitable for formal ‘research on research’ studies across the programme, and consider potential for research training of individuals (e.g. via LMIC-based PhD studentships);
- consider and provide recommendations to National Institute for Health and Care Research/Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) relating to governance functions relating to monitoring, evaluation and learning and other learning activities at a programme level;
- consider and provide recommendations relating to NIHR/DHSC’s future commissioning of evaluations (via independent third parties, as appropriate) to ensure MEL and appropriate generation of summative evidence, and meet accountability requirements against key metrics, for the Centres programme.
