DFID's Research Strategy 2008-13 sets out priorities for long-term research. Research Programme Consortia (RPCs) represent one of the ways in which DFID funds research. It anticipates funding three research themes where each RPC will be up to £7.5 million over six years, including an inception phase of up to one year.

The three themes are:

(i) Improving Mental Health Services in Low Income Countries

(ii) Tackling the Structural Drivers of the HIV Epidemic

(iii) Tackling the Neglected Crisis of Undernutrition.

In all cases, the closing date for applications is 23 April 2010.
