The Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC) programme aims to improve health outcomes by strengthening the evidence base for public health interventions in humanitarian crises. The programme is the product of a strategic partnership between the Department for International Development (DFID) and the Wellcome Trust, with ELRHA overseeing the programme’s execution and management.

The Enhancing Learning and Research for Humanitarian Assistance (ELRHA) invites grant applications for the Research for Health in Humanitarian Crisis (R2HC) Second Phase. Any research that will strengthen the evidence base around public health interventions are encouraged to submit proposals. The project for which grant request is made should thereby lead to more effective public health interventions, in humanitarian crises.

Proposals may be concerned with any (or a combination) of the various public health topics, and extend to related issues such as shelter and WASH that have a clear impact public health. Proposals may also address the ethical issues surrounding the conduct of public health research in humanitarian crisis contexts.

Thematic Areas:

The term ‘Humanitarian Crises’ in this context includes natural disasters, conflicts, or complex emergencies, either at the national or sub-national levels, within lower or middle income countries.
