Once we established a definition of GEH, we set about identifying grants that met that definition.
We acknowledge the help of two research assistants, Sarah Joy Carlson and Pammie Crawford, from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in identifying grants and journal articles of MakCHS authors.
We then compiled information from those data sources identified and developed attribution scenarios of how research impacts could be linked to the identified grant funding.
The identified grant titles had information about the purpose of the projects, date when it was awarded, amount and term of the grant, the region the grant served, the BMGF programme under which it was allocated (all Global Health) and the location of the Grantee.
However, Bateson added, the panel was concerned that "it was actually quite difficult to identify grants that had substantial medical benefits".
For example, through identifying individual grants on the human health effects of climate change, this analysis enabled us to also identify the funding programs that have led to relevant and successful grant applications.
Most recent GPRs for each grant and annual FMOH reports generated (EFY 2001 , 2002 and 2003) were used to identify GF HIV/AIDS grant contributions to overall SRH performance.
She's like a researcher's fixer, identifying appropriate NIH grants, shepherding grant applications through the process, and offering career advice.
The Franco regime, Judge Garzón wrote, "used all its resources to locate, identify and grant reparations to the victims from the winning side but did not give the same respect to the losers, who were persecuted, jailed, disappeared and tortured".
(This is why a "fishing trip" for a new factor or gene at the beginning of a project typically leads to a poor ranking; if the factor isn't identified, the grant can't be completed successfully).
