Implementation of the WHO Global Research Agenda on Knowledge Translation (2025)

TDR - the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases

In May 2025 WHO published a Global Research Agenda on Knowledge Translation (GRA-KT). The draft publication is available as a supplement on the eTDR platform. This TDR call will support research projects that address one or more of the priorities under the three domains of the GRA-KT to:

Identify, Develop, and Assess KT Interventions
Address Barriers, Facilitators and Opportunities
Develop new Methods, Standards, Measurements (M&E), Theories and Frameworks.

Preference will be given to those studies that show how their research will support the 2024–2029 TDR strategy that builds on our experience to support country-led implementation research to improve access to and scale-up of health interventions, strategies, and policies and strengthens health systems. We work with implementers and social innovators, alongside researchers, to help democratize research and demonstrate that it is a useful and practical tool for people tackling health issues on the ground.

The TDR strategy focuses on four major global health challenges affecting infectious diseases of poverty using a One Health approach .

1. Epidemics and outbreaks

2. Control and elimination of diseases of poverty

3. Climate change’s impact on health

4. Resistance to treatment and control agents

This call for applications is undertaken in collaboration with the WHO Evidence Informed Policy unit. Awards will be made on condition of receiving appropriate ethical clearance.

Evaluation criteria and selection process

Each application will be screened for compliance with the eligibility criteria. Following this, each eligible application will be assessed independently by at least five reviewers, and scores will be assigned based on the sets of criteria. The highest scoring applications will be recommended for funding. Only projects that receive ethical approval will be funded.

We encourage applicants to review their own application against the criteria above before submitting. It is strongly recommended that applicants read both the GRA-KT and the TDR Strategy as preparation for developing their protocol.

Financial support

Successful applicants will receive up to US$ 20,000 per project, including an estimate of open access publication costs or commitment to seek a waiver. Co-funding from domestic or other sources is encouraged. Funds will be made available in three tranches. By the end of 2025 up to $10,000 will be disbursed to undertake planning, protocol development, seek co-funding and apply for ethics approval. By the end of 2026 up to $8,000 will be granted for implementation, reporting and dissemination activities. The remaining 10% will be granted on completion of the project and submission of technical and financial reports.

Timeframe: Projects must be completed within a period of up to 15 months. The final deadline to submit technical and financial reports is 30 January 2027. Academic manuscripts may be published after this date.
