In addition, future research should focus on assessing policymaking organization capacity to acquire, assess, adapt and apply research evidence.
The CHSRF framework covers four dimensions of capacity, namely the capacity to acquire, assess, adapt and apply research evidence.
Efforts to enhance the capacity of research users to acquire, assess, adapt, and apply research were rarely undertaken by KTPs.
Gaps in research production and limited alignment with regional priorities, as well as lack of skills among research users to acquire, assess, adapt, and use research evidence, were also previously reported to hinder EIHP activities in LMICs [ 25- 28].
This occurs at the individual, institutional and systems level, and includes programmes for building capacity in research methods, knowledge translation, and policy-maker abilities to access, assess, adapt and apply research.
In order to support user-pull efforts, interviews and the document review indicated that there is a need to assess and build capacity among research users to acquire, assess, adapt and apply research to help ensure their active engagement in EIHP initiatives.
As part of government (e.g. a unit within the Ministry of Health), a KTP may capitalize upon its proximity to the policy-making process to stoke demand for evidence or to strengthen the capacity of policy makers to access, assess, adapt and apply research evidence; yet its proximity may compromise the neutrality essential to science in general and to KT in particular.
Many participants believed that they had increased their skills in acquiring, assessing, adapting and applying evidence, writing policy briefs and presenting evidence-based arguments to higher levels.
The treatment was administered following the European Standard Operative Procedures of Electrochemotherapy. Tumor response was clinically assessed adapting the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, and toxicity was evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 4.0.
Agronomic, economic and environmental outcomes of these trials were then used to assess Adapt-N performance.
Agronomic, economic, and simulated environmental outcomes of these trials were used to assess Adapt-N performance.
