TDR Postgraduate Scholarship in Implementation Research

Academic Year 2025-2027

Extended Deadline for Application : 30 April 2025 

 

Description

Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, invites suitably qualified candidates to apply for a place in the following full-time postgraduate programme, with a focus on implementation research (IR) for the 2025-2027 Academic Year.

Funding for these full scholarships is from TDR, the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases, based at the World Health Organization in Geneva. Only applicants from low- and middle-income countries of WHO South-East Asia and Western Pacific Regions are eligible.

The scheme focuses on building capacity on IR to address four major global health challenges affecting infectious diseases of poverty using a One Health approach: epidemics and outbreaks; control and elimination of disease of poverty; climate change’s impact on health; and resistance to treatment and control agents.

Those with research experience in implementation research on the above-mentioned areas will be prioritized during the selection process. A limited number of scholarships will be offered for the 2025-2027 academic year in the International Master Programme in Public Health, leading to an MPH degree (2 years duration). The programme is taught in English.

Study Areas

As a part of the MPH, the postgraduate training will comprise modules relevant to a career in IR, a growing field that supports the identification of health system bottlenecks and approaches to addressing them. It is particularly useful in LMICs, where many health interventions do not reach those who could be benefitting from them. The goal of this training scheme is to strengthen the capacity of researchers to gather evidence-based knowledge using sound methodology to incorporate into policies and practices in LMICs.

Further information on implementation research is available from the TDR website .

Scholarship recipients will be enrolled as postgraduate students and conduct their thesis on IR on infectious diseases of poverty with a major focus on epidemics and outbreaks; control and elimination of disease of poverty; climate change’s impact on health; or resistance to treatment and control agents.

The scholarship recipients will have the opportunity to join the global prestigious alumni platform IR Connect, which would monitor the impact of the training programme on their career and allow them to network with other alumni for further career opportunities.

FK-KMK UGM. Special Program of Implementation Research, Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing (FK-KMK) UGM held a Guest Lecture themed “How to Conduct an Implementation Research: Lesson Learned”. The event presented two speakers, Dr. Emmanuel Asampong from the University of Ghana and Dr. Mahnaz Vahedi from the TDR, who shared their experiences and strategies in conducting implementation research.

Dr. Emmanuel Asampong discusses his research project focused on improving the effectiveness of Long-Lasting Insecticide-Treated Net (LLIN) distribution campaigns in Ghana. This qualitative research used a participatory approach with multiple methods, including focus group discussions (FGDs), key interviews, and a baseline survey analyzed through the Community Health Advocacy Team (CHAT) framework.

Meanwhile, Dr. Mahnaz Vahedi explained the TDR program’s plan to support implementation research to improve the health of communities affected by poverty-related infectious diseases. The three main strategies highlighted were global engagement, research support, and training, all of which aim to increase research capacity and provide evidence to support effective health interventions.
