Request for Proposal (RFP) - 1: “Child Health Nutrition Research: Regional Assessment of Research Priorities and Research Institutions”
The RFP-1 was announced in 2001 by OCHRC (Initiative) with support of Global Forum for Health Research (GFHR). The objective of RFP-1 was to develop regional profiles by identification of regional child health and nutrition (CHN) research agendas and mapping of actors, i.e. individual researchers, organizations, universities, and groups, and their roles in the field of child health and nutrition within a region. The regional profiles includes brief descriptions of importance of child health and nutrition research in an historical context, description of the process through which regional research priorities were identified, identification of urgent child health and nutrition research gaps and map of regional research actors. The regional profile identifies key regional challenges for child health and nutrition research for the next decade in each region.
In 2002, OCHRC awarded three institutions in Africa, Asia and Latin America to identify key regional challenges for child health and nutrition research for the next decade of each region. To know more about the studies, visit:
