The NIHR has a number of funding programmes that support global health researchers at all stages of their career.
These funding programmes are open to researchers in the UK, low and middle income countries (LMICs), or both. Some are offered directly by NIHR, whereas others are offered in partnership with other leading global health research organisations.
