Objectives of the SDIL project include: (1) facilitating reuse of data dictionaries and reducing duplication of effort; (2) promoting the use of validated data collection instruments, data standards and best practices; and (3) promoting research collaboration and data sharing.
Our modular-based approach has numerous advantages, including improving the understanding of the model, reducing duplication of effort, and facilitating the adaptation of the model for different sites and ecosystems.
They perceived that such a system would have several advantages including setting a minimum standard for documenting training, promoting collaboration among implementing partners by highlighting areas of possible joint planning or joint implementation, and reducing duplication of effort.
They reduce duplication of efforts and skills, thus reducing operational costs.
Although the funding of consortia may reduce duplication of efforts and increase the transparency and reproducibility of 'within paradigm' research, the impact of this type of funding on the development and support of the next generation of researchers and those looking to overthrow paradigms is uncertain.
These platforms offered the opportunity to share lessons and best practices, as well as to reduce duplication of efforts.
An up-to-date database of global health researchers could enhance interaction and cross-pollination of ideas, and reduce duplication of efforts.
This also highlights the need for international consensus on the topic, to reduce duplication of efforts, standardise practice, and improve outcomes.
WHO, together with the Irish NGO Goal and UNICEF, is working on establishing a computerized Supply Management System (SUMA) to help track distribution of drugs, medical equipment and other aid cargo around the country and reduce duplication of efforts and other inefficiencies.
While a few interviewees acknowledged that the current system can impede multi-site studies, and that CIRBs could potentially reduce duplication of efforts and streamline work, in the end all interviewees supported the continuation of local IRBs in some form.
