Call for Applications: Emerging Voices for Global Health 2026
Applications are now open for Emerging Voices for Global Health (EV4GH) 2026, a global capacity-strengthening program linked to the 9th Global Symposium on Health Systems Research (HSR2026), to be held in Dubai.
Dates will be shortly announced.
The program is open to early- and mid-career health policy and systems researchers, policymakers, activists, communicators, knowledge brokers, and health systems practitioners who are committed to advancing and reimagining global health through equity-driven, evidence-informed approaches.
The EV4GH is a blended learning program and consists of a 4-week distance learning phase, followed by a 2-week face-to-face phase held prior to the 9th Global Symposium on Health Systems Research to be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), in November 2026. It uses innovative methods and activities to enable emerging global health change agents, including health systems and policy researchers, policymakers and implementers, practitioners and other actors to not only to elevate emerging voices but to support them in generating concrete ideas for reform and practical solutions to persistent global health challenges.
Eligibility:
The 2026 venture will accept applications through two application tracks:
- Track 1: Researchers involved in health policy and systems research (researchers track), and
- Track 2: Health professionals, activists, policymakers, knowledge brokers, health journalists, and other health system actors (other health system professional track).
Applicants may apply to only one track. Either the researcher track or the non-research health professional track. This helps ensure that each cohort reflects distinct yet complementary perspectives.
In addition, all applicants must have been born on or after 1st January 1986.

Deadline extended to 10th of April 2026.
