Turkey and Syria earthquake: evidence-based innovations and guidance for acute crisis response.
We are Elrha, a force for change in the humanitarian community. The research and innovation we support equips the humanitarian community with the knowledge of what works, so people affected by crises get the right help when they need it most.
Our purpose is clear: to empower the humanitarian community to improve humanitarian response. We make this happen by supporting and championing the outcomes of robust research and proven innovations.
We empower the humanitarian community. Find out how we can support you...

Here you will find our open funding opportunities for innovation (through the Humanitarian Innovation Fund) and research (through Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises).

Past Funding Opportunities

R2HC Call for research in response to current or anticipated humanitarian health crises

R2HC aims to improve health outcomes by strengthening the evidence base for public health interventions in humanitarian crises. We are looking for research proposals that respond to a current or anticipated health crisis in a humanitarian setting. Proposals should be context specific and driven by evidence needs identified by stakeholders to inform response to the crisis in real-time.

Research to support COVID-19 response in humanitarian settings

Elrha is launching an urgent funding call for research proposals to support the COVID-19 response in humanitarian settings. The aim is to fund public health research that will produce robust findings that will contribute to the effectiveness of the current humanitarian response and increase the evidence base for future responses to similar infectious disease outbreaks. Given the global travel restrictions and social distancing measures in place to respond to COVID-19, applicants must be able to demonstrate that their proposed research is relevant, feasible and ethical.
