Sažetak
This article provides detailed guidelines for the implementation of systematic method for setting priorities in health research investments that was recently developed by Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI). The target audience for the proposed method are international agencies, large research funding donors, and national governments and policy-makers. The process has the following steps: (i) selecting the managers of the process ; (ii) specifying the context and risk management preferences ; (iii) discussing criteria for setting health research priorities ; (iv) choosing a limited set of the most useful and important criteria ; (v) developing means to assess the likelihood that proposed health research options will satisfy the selected criteria ; (vi) systematic listing of a large number of proposed health research stakeoptions ; (vii) pre-scoring check of all competing health research options ; (viii) scoring of health research options using the chosen set of criteria ; (ix) calculating intermediate scores for each health research option ; (x) obtaining further input from the stakeholders ; (xi) adjusting intermediate scores taking into account the values of stakeholders ; (xii) calculating overall priority scores and assigning ranks ; (xiii) performing an analysis of agreement between the scorers ; (xiv) linking computed research priority scores with investment decisions ; (xv) feedback and revision. The CHNRI method is a flexible process that enables prioritizing health research investments at any level: institutional, regional, national, international, or global.
