The IRC and AUB are collaborating on Elrha’s Research in Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC): NCDs Research Priority Setting exercise: A focus on Cardio-Metabolic Syndrome (CMS). The project is led by a team of NCD researchers and practitioners from IRC and AUB with strong engagement from the members of the Informal Inter-Agency Working Group (IIAWG) on NCDs. This exercise will generate a consensus on priorities for NCD research in humanitarian settings for the next decade with a focus on Cardio-Metabolic Syndrome (CMS).

The first survey was deployed in June 2023 and targeted various types of stakeholders including academics, frontline- workers, bodies representing health professionals, focal persons from local ministries of health, and NCDs patients’ representatives, to source priority research questions guided by the Evidence Maps. A second survey will be sent to respondents with the request to score the research questions against the pre-defined criteria. The scored data will be calculated and ranked. A detailed and summary report will be developed for dissemination to various stakeholders and as well development of an academic article to be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Scope of Work
The Consultant will work closely with the research team and support in the dissemination of the second survey, data consolidation and analysis, report writing and development of manuscript for publication based on the analyzed data and their understanding of the expectations of the terms of reference. The consultancy activities will be conducted remotely, the analysis and the report should be utilization-focused as IRC/AUB/Elrha intend to use the findings to inform current and future CMS research in humanitarian settings.
