This call focuses on implementation research to enhance health systems and address the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The objective is to develop and test interventions for equitable, high-quality care tailored to diverse populations, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and disadvantaged groups in high-income countries (HICs). Proposals should demonstrate the potential for sustainability, scalability, and policy relevance, engaging diverse stakeholders and prioritizing health equity. Projects must address critical gaps in health systems by integrating implementation science frameworks and fostering multidisciplinary collaboration, particularly among early-career researchers in under-resourced environments.
