Please review the programmatic approaches below for project development guidance. Please note these approaches can also be used for Equity and COVID-19 projects.
Equity continues to be a priority thematic area of the Global Grants Program. 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.
