Purpose
Given the increasing recognition of women as fundamental to the health of populations, the Fogarty International Center (FIC), with National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), and National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), is soliciting applications for one-year administrative supplements to active NIH international research or research training grants for the purpose of developing research applications for implementation science intended to accelerate progress towards improved health for women and girls and/or the role of women and girls in the improvement of health. These supplements are intended to be used for planning for future grant applications either to other NIH institutes, to other U.S. Government (USG) agencies, particularly those engaged in the Global Health Initiative (GHI), or to outside international research funding entities.
Over the long term, the health of women enhances their productivity, their social and economic participation, and also acts as a positive multiplier, benefitting social and economic development through the health of future generations. The ability of women to access health-related knowledge and services is fundamental to the health of their families. However, both because of their reproductive role and patterns of gender discrimination, girls and women are particularly vulnerable to ill health, and are comparatively underserved by health services.
One of the USG initiatives currently focusing on issues related to the health of women and girls is the GHI. The GHI is an evidence-based, health outcome-driven, whole-of-government approach to global health. The GHI aims to help partner countries improve health outcomes through strengthened health systems and is guided by a set of seven principles. The core principles of the GHI are:
- To focus on women, girls, and gender quality;
- To encourage country ownership;
- Build sustainability through health systems strengthening;
- Increase impact through strategic coordination and integration;
- Improve metrics, monitoring, and evaluation;
- Promote research and innovation.
The NIH proposes to issue these administrative supplements to active NIH international research or research training grants during FY 2011 to stimulate applications for research that will enhance the evidence base for translating effective interventions into community and population-level programs, services, and strategies at scale. Research applications should encompass as many of the Global Health Initiative's (GHI) principles as possible with particular focus on the principles of women and girls, gender equality, and host country leadership.
More specifically, the intent of these supplements is:
- To provide an opportunity to make an important contribution to better health for women and girls through applications for targeted implementation research on knowledge gaps in advancing women and girls’ health;
- To foster host country leadership in research; and
- To stimulate or expand coordination and integration of research with existing and/or planned health programming, particularly those that are supported by the USG, and where appropriate, with emphasis on those that advance country-specific GHI targets.
