This integration was seen as likely to be a difficult task: "Care and compassion, client-focus, healthy workplace... all those kinds of things are not always front and center on that priority setting agenda.
Our project reinforces the conclusions by Currie et al. [ 6], namely that the social position of the Theme Leader (whether NHS facing or academia facing) and the antecedent conditions (previous networks and effective networks of Theme Leaders) influenced the initial priority setting agenda, and consequently, research activity.
This study aimed to develop and pilot an equity lens that could help researchers in developing a more equity-oriented approach toward priority setting and agenda setting in systematic reviews.
Group 1 (red) includes health policy and analysis research such as policy design and implementation [ 48- 50], challenges of health policy and health technology [ 51, 52], health care system reforms and performance monitoring [ 53- 56] (i.e., China), metropolitan and regional health planning [ 57], priority setting and agendas [ 58, 59], policy of financial access and equity [ 48].
Weitz, N., Carlsen, H., Nilsson, M. & Skånberg, K. Towards systemic and contextual priority setting for implementing the 2030 agenda.
First, links between researchers and policy-makers should ideally develop on a long-term basis so that together at the priority setting interface they produce a research agenda that reflects some synthesis between the needs of policy-makers and the perspectives of independent research analysis.
Priority setting should take place in defining a national research agenda for evaluating Option B + rollout in Malawi.
This paper proposes a conceptual framework and a methodology to think about the HPSR research portfolio, the agendas that influence it and the priority setting process.
A cross-sectoral priority setting process, like the one described herein, inevitably leads to a broad STI research agenda that has the value of providing strategic guidance.
While defining research topics would result in a more operational research agenda, participants agreed that it might not be achievable in a first nationwide priority setting process to get to the level of detail needed to define priority topics.
The explicit and rational setting of priorities for investment in research is now accepted as an integral part of any research management process [ 2] National research priority setting, if it includes a regional and international perspective can also feed into and drive regional and international agendas rather than 'respond' to the agendas suggested by others.
