The line-up of speakers and presenters at the International Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) Summit will include seasoned experts to discuss field-proven ideas from the past 30 years. But who will shape the future of SBCC over the next 30 years? Who will design the next health communication interventions that inspire and challenge fellow practitioners to see the field differently? Where are the up and coming experts with innovative ideas for how to solve the world’s most pressing health challenges through communication?
Through the international SBCC Lion’s Den, a Health Communication case competition, undergraduate and graduate students will work in interdisciplinary teams to respond to this call and develop proposals for innovative, feasible and sustainable health communication interventions. The intervention proposals will be targeted at real-life community health challenges and grounded in proven SBCC frameworks and theories.
Worth
- The winning team will be awarded $5,000 to further refine their idea and implement a six-month pilot project. Each proposal must include a high-level budget in US dollars showing how the money will be used to implement and evaluate the intervention.
The committee invites proposals that:
- Demonstrate how SBCC can be used to influence positive health outcomes
- Focus on hand washing as an intervention area that address a related health topic
- Present a community-level solution to an identified health challenge
- Use an interdisciplinary approach to SBCC
- Would be implemented in a lower- or lower-middle-income country (as defined by the World Bank)
Deadline: January 8, 2016
