The call is to commission internationally-outstanding applied global health research. Following the success of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) 2016/17 call for Global Health Research Units and Groups, we are inviting a second round of applications from existing specialist academic groups who wish to expand into the field of global health.These are intended to be multi-disciplinary groups, led by a specialist academic group at a UK university or research institute in collaboration with partners in ODA-eligible low and middle income countries on the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list . The research should be directly and predominantly relevant to improving the health needs of patients and the public in these countries.
