In addition, institution's promotion policies heavily favoured clinical research and teaching.
The 'needs analysis' showed that short courses with hands-on practice in biostatistics were most favoured for research and that training should be provided during working hours.
Internet accounts are available only to foreigners, or to favoured Cubans for research purposes.
Our inclusion criteria and approach to synthesis favoured reviews over original research and relied on a somewhat 'blunt' comparison that did not control for overlap between reviews.
The EBA are among the most significant contemporary ways of conceptualising health care, both theoretically and practically [ 1], and are viewed by advocates as the favoured means of integrating research findings into clinical practice [ 2].
The involvement of persons of influence or policy makers in the research process favoured uptake in projects 1 and 4. In project 3, the political context was initially receptive when the project was funded but had changed in response to other events leaving a research finding incongruent with other major influences and without impact, despite the best efforts of the research team.
According to the results, personal connections are emphasised, and overall, favoured sources are researchers, futurists, colleagues, academic and scientific journals, and reports of research institutes.
The MC Development Host Fellowships are available mainly to research institutions in less favoured regions of the European Union, such as Saxony in eastern Germany.
Lastly, we developed as pragmatic an approach as possible, in that we were guided in our choice of methods by our questions--and not the reverse, as often happens--and favoured flexibility and adaptation as the research progressed, in contrast to traditional, fixed approaches (to borrow Robson's dichotomy [ 18]).
Our call, for example, for a wider band of role models, was based on research that showed black boys favoured everyday citizens over celebrities.
