Description
Company Description
The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) is funded by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). We work in partnership with the NHS, universities, local government, other research funders, patients, and the public. The NIHR funds, enables, and delivers world-leading health and social care research that improves people's health and wellbeing and promotes economic growth.
We are also a major funder of applied health research in low- and middle-income countries. The NIHR Global Health Research (GHR) portfolio, funded through Official Development Assistance (ODA), was established in 2016 and builds on NIHR's operating principles of impact, excellence, effectiveness, inclusion and collaboration. We fund high-quality global health research for the direct and primary benefit of people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and build research and development (R&D) capacity and capability in both the UK and in LMICs through mutual learning and knowledge exchange.
Working closely with the global health research community, we commission and invest in applied health research and training that responds to the diverse needs of LMIC communities, anticipates the evolving global burden of disease and addresses health system priorities.
Job Description
As part of the Global Health team, you will be responsible for coordinating research commissioning and award management across NIHR Global Health funding schemes.
We're looking for someone who can think strategically and consider various partner perspectives to address complex issues. You should be adept at navigating complexity and finding solutions that meet the needs of different collaborators. Strong communication and collaboration skills are important.
You should have a proven understanding of the research commissioning process, as well as experience in leadership roles and knowledge of the international research landscape and ODA funding requirements.
This role involves collaborating with diverse collaborators, both internally and externally, to represent NIHR and DHSC-funded research. You'll work closely with award holders, NIHR teams, and DHSC representatives.
