Research Capacity Strengthening (RCS) is at the core of the NIHR-Global Health Research Centre (GHRC) for Non-communicable disease & Environment Change. Its overarching goal is to strengthen the capacity to design, implement, communicate, and utilise research evidence for NCDs and Environmental change.
The RCS strategy targets four domains, which crosscuts along all major themes of the centre and the activities outlined for each are instrumental in driving the Centre towards sustainability over the long run. They encompass country-specific activities at each level, as well as cross-country activities that target capacity gaps at each level of the evidence-to policy ecosystem for each country partner and their collaborators.
