India Health Policy and Systems Research Fellowship

Project Details

India Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR) Fellowships Programme is aimed at building the capacity of mid-career public health researchers in Health Policy and Systems Research(HPSR) in India.

Through a blended training programme and by building a community of practice for peer support and engagement we aspire to build leaders in the field who will influence health policy and systems in India.

Fellows are expected to build an HPSR research protocol and a public/policy engagement plan at the end of the online and F2F workshop and will obtain mentoring to implement the research. Participants will also be expected to develop and implement a public and policy engagement plan.
