The India HPSR fellowships program is an effort towards the capacity building by
1) Providing HPSR skills and competencies to mid-career researchers and an opportunity to implement an HPSR project AND
2) Developing a national network of HPSR researchers, institutions, and stakeholders involved in the development and implementation of health policy and systems research work.
This HPSR fellowship aims to build individual capacity in Health Policy and Systems Research through a blended training program, mentorship and build a community of practice for peer support and engagement.
The program will focus on introducing the field of HPSR, methodological issues in conceptualizing, designing, conducting, and also reading and interpreting HPSR research and practice. We endeavor to build leaders in the field that are equipped to meaningfully contribute to health policy and systems in India.
We aim to identify about 20 Indian mid-career researchers, the typical participant has a post-graduation level educational qualification in health/related field or comparable in experience to post-graduate training. S/he will have basic knowledge of research methods in public health even if their knowledge and/or experience is limited to a specific discipline/method. Participant selection is planned through an open and competitive call. A call for participants will be widely circulated and promoted on this website and other platforms in September 2020.
The program will be for about 18 months. The content will be delivered in a blended format using both the online (e-learning) and face-to-face training methods along with a project implementation phase. Backward design is a method in curriculum development that is driven by the learning outcomes and assessments envisaged and has been used in the development of this program. The course is designed to be pedagogically sound and relevant to the real-world scenario. It promises to be a rich experience with national and international HPSR experts being involved in the preparation and delivery of knowledge, along with their personal experiences, some of whom will be involved as mentors during the final phase of the course.
