The Implementation Research Platform is
pleased to announce a call for proposals to support implementation
research that contributes to the scale-up of effective health
interventions related to MDGs 4, 5 and 6 in one of the following three
priority areas:

ii) improving the performance of
health workers (through strengthened supervision and increased
motivation) to deliver quality services; and
iii) engaging communities to increase
awareness of, access to, and utilization of health services, and
provision of appropriate services at the community level.
