The GACD specifically addresses NCDs and supports implementation research to improve health outcomes. Chronic NCDs that begin in childhood have an impact on both quality of life and life expectancy. Onset of many NCDs diseases occurs at younger ages in LMICs, and this is further accompanied by a longer duration of disease and a higher rate of complications, including multimorbidity. Up to 70% of preventable adult deaths from NCDs are linked to risk factors originating in childhood and adolescence, and interventions that can successfully control or prevent chronic disease in young people can dramatically improve health outcomes later in life. The aim of this topic is to fund implementation research, exploring strategies, evidence-based program and policy interventions across prevention, diagnosis, screening and management of chronic NCDs, centred on the critical life stages spanning early childhood to young adulthood (1-24 years of age) living in LMICs, and/or underserved populations in HICs.
