NIHR Global Health Research Cohort Academic Development Award - GHR CADA 2023

The NIHR GHR Cohort Academic Development Award (GHR CADA) scheme offers NIHR GHR Programme Training Leads (or Directors/Principle investigators (PIs) where there is no training lead in place) an opportunity to tailor a programme of activities to meet the academic training and career development needs of the cohort of NIHR GHR Academy members in their NIHR GHR Programme awards (primarily focussed on those who are LMIC based) and, where training needs align, with other NIHR GHR Programme awards. Individuals can apply to the GHR CADA scheme for up to £30,000 to undertake a programme of activities. Applications are light-touch and will be assessed in an open competition. Funding can include training course fees, invited speaker or facilitator costs, accommodation, travel, subsistence and any other reasonable expenses, for example internet connectivity costs incurred during the activities. Following completion of a GHR CADA award, the awardee is expected to be able to show evidence of: Completion of the programme of activities proposed in the application Development of new research or technical skills/techniques within the cohort Increased academic career development of the cohort Involvement in collaborative relationships and increased networks. Evidence of the above will be sought by the NIHR through the GHR CADA final report. These guidance notes are intended to help completion of an application for the NIHR GHR CADA, Round 2 (2022). The NIHR Academy office can be contacted with any eligibility queries. Please contact the NIHR with any eligibility queries (ghrtp@nihr.ac.uk).
