National 'priorities for research for health' or 'health research priorities' define the most urgent health research needs of a country.
A rigorous and inclusive priority setting process ensures that the national health research priorities balance the needs of the different stakeholders - policy makers, health systems, researchers, communities, business enterprise sector - with the needs of the health research system to achieve short, medium and long term objectives.
Credibly set and regularly updated research priorities allow:
- researchers and funders to align their activities with national requirements;
- government to measure the impact of national health research;
- informed citizens, CSOs and NGOs to hold researchers, research institutions and the government to account.
