The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

MEASURE Evaluation Population and Reproductive Health (PRH) Small Grants Program

0 comments

MEASURE Evaluation Population & Reproductive Health (PRH) invites applications for a small grants programme to build the evidence base in family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH), support the research efforts of developing country researchers and their institutions, and maximise opportunities to use research findings for decision-making.

Eligible candidates must be seeking to build the research and/or data use capacity in country or regional academic institutions or centres, non-profit or for-profit research organisations, parastatal or non-governmental organisations in MEASURE Evaluation PRH priority countries and United States Agency for International Development Tier One countries. (Click here to access eligibility information.) The base amount for a small grant is US$5,000, which is intended to cover basic research expenses. However, the total amount of the grant will be based on proposed budgets and is expected to be higher, so as to cover the costs of the planned data use activities.

Suggested Topics:

  • "Reaching underserved populations (e.g. addressing FP/RH needs of youth and adolescents; the poor; displaced populations; etc.)
  • Evaluation of FP/RH programmes or policies (e.g. community-based distribution, contraceptive security, long-acting & permanent methods (LAPM), etc.)
  • FP/MCH or FP/HIV service integration (e.g. post-partum FP, Post-abortion care, immunisation services; Preventing Mother-to-Child Transmission [of HIV/AIDS] (PMTCT) services, etc.), Population-Environment integration
  • Healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies (HTSP) tools & approaches
  • Addressing gender in FP/RH"
Application Info

To apply, please submit a 2-3 page summary clearly outlining the research questions, scope of analysis, description of dataset, key opportunities for using the study findings to inform programmes or policy, and strategies for facilitating the use of study findings. Proposals should also be submitted with a brief cover letter, budget, the curriculum vitae of key personnel, and names of three references.
