Funding
The programme is supported by the UK Humanitarian Innovation Hub (UKHIH), an independent humanitarian innovation initiative fully funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and hosted within Elrha – a global humanitarian organisation and the UK’s leading independent supporter of humanitarian innovation and research.
Since its inception in 2020, UKHIH has adopted an approach of brokering and facilitating high-impact collaborations that contribute to major advances in humanitarian innovation through a shared strategic learning process.
The Accelerated Innovation Collaborations (AICs), such as Pulse, are constructed around collaboration, evidence gathering, assessing concepts, and have adoption / scale partners built into each coloration.
A central component of the AICs has been the inclusion of lower-middle income country (LMICs) researchers through the UKHIH fellowship scheme.
