NIHR's Research on Interventions for Global Health Transformation (RIGHT) programme is launching its 8th call that will support targeted research to develop and evaluate interventions to strengthen and improve prevention, management, and response to unintentional injuries and accidents arising from any cause in ODA-eligible countries. In this call, we are especially interested in interventions relevant to unintentional injuries and accidents occurring in relation to climate change and natural hazards.
Briefing Webinar for Applicants

The morning session will be held at 10am-11am, and the afternoon session at 2pm-3pm. Please register for your preferred session via Zoom. A recording of the webinar and a copy of the slides will be available upon request after the webinar by contacting the Global Health team at right@nihr.ac.uk.

Multiple applications
Under this call, an individual cannot be named as Lead/Joint Lead Applicant on more than one application. However, HEIs or Research Institutes may submit more than one application to this funding opportunity as Lead/Joint Lead, provided each application is distinct in its aims and objectives.

If you are from an Institution submitting multiple applications as Lead /Joint lead, you should consider our position on equality, diversity and inclusion at all levels of the awards, including leadership, governance and delivery. This includes, but is not limited to, gender balance. You should also consider the aims of the RIGHT programme.
