The GACD facilitates collaboration and cross-project learning among members of its Research Network, which results in synergistic impact across its portfolio of funded projects.
On this page you can access the resources developed through collaborations across our Research Network intended to advance the field of implementation science and non-communicable disease prevention and treatment.

Core outcome sets for trials of multimorbidity interventions
The GACD COSMOS group developed a core outcome setappropriate for the study of multimorbidity in LMICs.
-
Mental health implementation measures mapping tool
A working group of GACD researchers have collated the clinical and implementation variables used across a diverse portfolio of GACD-funded global mental health projects and mapped them onto a standardised overview of implementation assessment using the RE-AIM Framework.

GACD Hypertension Progamme meta-data index
This platform will allow you to see what data has been collected by each of the projects funded through the GACD hypertension programme.
The platform is a resource for those developing data collection tools for data related to hypertension and provides an opportunity to connect with the investigators from each of these projects, by following the embedded links to the GACD project pages.

NCD Multimorbidity working group policy brief
The brief provides arguments to stimulate research and service delivery beyond a disease-specific focus and for changing the dominant funding model to promote multimorbidity research. The brief be used as a tool for advocacy and strategic discussions about research and management of multimorbidity.

GACD Researchers’ statement on multimorbidity
The GACD Research Network believes that a greater focus on multimorbidity is overdue and necessary to successfully improve global healthcare outcomes. This statement presents the case for a greater focus on multimorbidity in relation to non-communicable diseases in low- and middle-income countries.

GACD Researchers’ statement on NCD research with Indigenous Peoples
The GACD Indigenous Populations working group (now the Indigenous Populations Special Interest Group- IPSIG) aimed to address gaps in implementation science related to NCD research with Indigenous Peoples. Members of the group recognize Indigenous Peoples have different economic and socio-cultural contexts when compared to non-Indigenous people. Understanding these unique differences is essential to strengthening the viability, suitability, and sustainability of Indigenous research in implementation science. Through this statement the group intends to guide future research activities.

Process evaluation guidelines for hypertension
These guidelines are a reference for research teams when considering the evaluation of interventions for hypertension. They provide an initial starting point for those considering study design, outlining key concepts and recommendations for each stage.

The Data Dictionary – hypertension, diabetes, and lung diseases
This toolkit is a set of resources from which researchers can draw to inform methodology development and facilitate cross-project analyses through common metrics. The toolkit includes a set of consensus measures for implementation science projects in non-communicable disease prevention and management developed through a GACD Research Network collaboration.
