Is this for me?
Best suited to: Multidisciplinary teams that can connect FGS expertise to real SRH, HIV, cervical-cancer, family-planning or primary-care delivery systems.
Uganda relevance: Uganda may be eligible. Confirm the geographic and institutional criteria in the official RFP before applying.
Not suitable if
- Your project is only a prevalence survey with no integration or implementation component
- Your proposal is about SRHR but has no substantive FGS component
- Your work is about schistosomiasis generally without addressing FGS integration
- You cannot identify a plausible routine-service pathway where integration would occur
Methods Bench fit considerations
- You are studying how FGS services can be integrated into routine SRH or primary-care systems
- You can evaluate feasibility, acceptability, effectiveness, sustainability, scale-up or system integration
- Your team includes the clinical, implementation, health-system or programme expertise needed to translate findings into practice
- Your proposed work addresses women and girls affected by or at risk of FGS
- You can show a realistic pathway from research findings to service integration
Editorial guidance, not an eligibility verdict. Confirm requirements with the funder.
What the opportunity provides
- Research generating evidence for sustainable integration of female genital schistosomiasis services into sexual and reproductive health and primary health systems
- Studies of feasibility, acceptability, effectiveness, sustainability, scale-up and system integration
- Work addressing women and girls affected by or at risk of FGS
Methods Bench application considerations
The proposal needs to be about integration, not merely FGS burden. Reviewers are likely to care about whether the approach can live inside routine systems after the research project ends.
A technically strong FGS study can still miss the call if it does not answer how FGS care can be integrated sustainably into existing systems.
- Does the project directly address FGS?
- Is there a clear SRH or primary-care integration pathway?
- Is the study designed to generate implementation evidence?
- Have you checked the exact geographic and institutional eligibility in the RFP?
- Can the team demonstrate both research and delivery-system expertise?
