Introduction

An increasing number of University of Cambridge researchers are working on Global Health Research projects with partners in Low-and Middle Income Countries. Projects range from lab research into pathogens or public health modelling through to interventional trials involving human participants. These pages aim to give you some further information about health research with partners in LMICs.

Any projects involving human participants, their tissue, or their data require specific approvals before they can start. Please read the 'Sponsorship, Ethics and Insurance' page to find out more.

For guidance on Contracts, Finance and other regulatory matters relating to global health research, please see: 'Contracts, Finance and Working with International Partners'.

Finding funding

The Research Office has dedicated pages about finding funding with useful guidance and links. Global health research projects are often eligible to apply to Offical Development Aid (ODA) funding schemes, such as the UKRI GCRF or NIHR Global Health. The UK Collaborative on Development Research (UKCDR) has a list of open calls from various major UK funders.

For more information about ODA eligible research, you can visit the dedicated ROO pages, here.

Useful Contacts

There are various teams across the University who can help you with queries about ODA research and Global Health.

If you have practical queries about health research projects that focus on Low and Middle Income Countries, please get in touch with the Global Health Research Manager, Rose Eichenberger at the Research Office.
 

Research Governance team

For all queries about research governance relating to Global Health Research, including projects in Low and Middle Income Countries, you can contact the Research Governance Team at the Clinical School, or visit their International Studies page.
 

School Pre-Award teams

For queries about bid development and the grant application process, you can contact the Pre-Award team in the Research Office. The Pre-Award teams can assist with development of your grant application and help ensure it matches with the funding call requirements, particularly for ODA (Official Development Assistance) funded projects, such as GCRF and Newton Fund. Each School has a dedicated team:
 

Office for Translational Research

The Pre-Award teams also liaise with the Office for Translational Research (OTR) when developing bids. The OTR team can provide expert advice specific to translational funding calls, to access the right funding, with the right partners at the right time for your project. Relevant funding schemes include MRC Developmental Pathway Funding Scheme (DPFS), WT innovator award, BHF translational awards, NIHR and industrial collaborations. You can contact the OTR Team directly when developing your proposal.
