About Azim Premji University Health Research Funding Programme 2023

As Azim Premji Foundation forays into the health space with a focus on improving health outcomes for vulnerable communities, we at Azim Premji University are launching the first round of our Research Funding Programme in Health.

This programme is designed to promote inquiry into areas of particular interest to the Foundation’s Health Initiative, build a nuanced and data-driven understanding of the realities of public health in the country, and explore possible responses for some of them. The research funding programme will supplement the Foundation’s existing efforts to strengthen the quality of healthcare in vulnerable populations across rural, tribal, peri-urban, and urban areas.

We are looking for research focused on vulnerable communities that is methodologically robust, empirically grounded, and can inform practice. We are also keen on research that builds awareness and contributes to a meaningful discourse around issues of health and the determinants of health.
