Description
The Lancet and Elsevier Foundation support research projects addressing pressing health challenges worldwide through implementation science. The award bridges scientific evidence and practical application, emphasizing sustainable, adaptable health improvements, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Relevant challenges include non-communicable and infectious diseases, malnutrition, and gaps in healthcare access.
The program recognizes work that studies implementation or actively supports intervention delivery, with the aim of generating scalable, context-specific improvements. Collaboration among researchers, healthcare providers, policymakers, and local communities is central. Projects should reflect local needs and national policies, align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and consider gender, socio-economic, and climate dimensions.
