Call for proposals – Health and Rights for Women, Adolescent girls and Children

This call for proposals will support projects that improve the quality of, access to, and demand for integrated health services and information for women, adolescents and children at the community, health facility and health system levels. At least 50% of the funding will be allocated to projects that address sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), particularly for women and adolescent girls, on identified critical gap areas:

• reproductive health services
• comprehensive sexuality education
• family planning and contraceptives
• safe and legal abortion and post-abortion care
• sexual and gender-based violence (including child, early and forced marriage, and female genital mutilation and cutting)
• advocacy activities for SRHR 

As organizations can only submit one application under this call, interested research teams are asked to contact the Office of Research Services (ahacquo1@lakeheadu.ca) no later than August 16, 2019 to indicate their interest in this funding opportunity.
