The International Child Health Group Networking Grant aims to support initiatives which foster collaboration, knowledge-sharing and partnership building within the field of international child health. This grant of up to £500 is designed to enable individuals or groups to develop and strengthen networks that advance advocacy, research, education and clinical care for children in global contexts.

Priority will be given to the projects that demonstrate potential for sustained impact, equitable partnerships, address the needs of underserved or marginalised populations and promote equity in child health.

The grant applications will open in April 2026 and close at the end of May 2026. During this time, the application form will be available on this page.

Applications will be assessed according to the following criteria:

Compulsory Criteria: Is it a Networking activity related to educational/clinical/research/advocacy activity and global child health?

Scored Criteria:

• Is the anticipated impact described?

• Has there been an assessment of feasibility?

• Does the activity align with ICHG Values?

• Is there evidence of equitable collaboration in the application?

• Is there evidence of consideration of sustainability and inclusivity?

• How important is the grant to the running of the Networking event?

• Is there any Conflict of Interest?

Successful applicants will be required to provide a letter of support from their institution and will be invited to share the learning from their event via a brief report and presentation at an ICHG (online) event within 12 months of the Networking opportunity.

Please note, we are not able to provide grants of over five hundred pounds but can provide smaller grants to successful applicants if the full amount is not required.
