This round of funding introduces equity as a new thematic area for priority funding consideration. Within this framework, applicants can propose projects that 1) use data to describe, document, monitor and propose solutions to inequities in health and determinants of health; or 2) focus on equity in data systems themselves; for example, reducing disparities among populations reached by civil registration systems. The equity lens for proposals could focus on geography, gender, ethnicity, disability or other population characteristics.
Define and specify appropriate indicators for monitoring health programs and population health status, develop applications, such as data dashboards, that deliver indicator data quickly and in visually clear and logical formats to decision makers.
Increase staff technical capacity in policy-relevant data analysis and use, focusing on health equity measurement; health impact predictions; cost-effectiveness analysis, etc.
Develop and disseminate policy-relevant data reports to various audiences.
Develop platforms for data visualization, for example through an integrated data dashboard, that present key data that decision makers or the public need to understand a public health issue or specific disease.
Develop data-driven prioritization, budgeting and planning practices.
Develop an authoritative, timely, and influential source of information and recommendations for actions to protect the public’s health.
Increase staff technical capacity to write and publish scientific manuscripts.

Supports technical assistance to country governments (e.g., Ministry of Health) in using mobile phone technology to collect city- or nationally-representative data for ongoing NCD risk factor surveillance via the NCD Mobile Phone Survey. Data are collected through text message (SMS), automated phone calls (IVR), and/or mobile web via a web-based platform. Data from the mobile survey are compared to the WHO STEPS household survey which is conducted in select overlapping countries within this component.
Supports technical assistance to government across the five stages of the mobile phone survey implementation process i) engagement and orientation; ii) mobile phone technology planning and pretest; iii) data collection; iv) data management and analysis; and v) data release and use.
Supports technical assistance to assist with development of a data analysis plan, which includes facilitation of the calculation of sampling weights, production of official fact sheet, and capacity building through data analysis workshops.
Supports technical assistance to governments on survey dissemination through the components of a data release package, including final weights analysis dataset, data dictionary, fact sheet, executive summary, and press release. Country fact sheets and public use datasets are released publicly as permitted by in-country data release policies within one year of data collection. The initiative encourages countries to make anonymized data publicly available to inform NCD priorities, promote research using mobile telephony, and facilitate cross-country comparisons.
