Update: John Langmore, Professorial Fellow in the Political Science Department of the University of Melbourne, adds:Like others in the group, I was very disappointed with the modified MRRT as it is not comprehensive and is not a rigorous resource-rent tax (RRT).
We need an all hands, well financed effort focused on basic research, infrastructure investment, along with rigorous rules governing resource development, use and pollution.
It should be noted that for complete and rigorous evaluation, additional resources will be required and a "Monitoring and Evaluation" project is being developed, for which funds will be sought from outside donors.
In settings where rigorous evaluation of human resource distribution is not possible, stated preference studies or discrete choice experiments (DCEs) provide insight into health worker motivations to inform policy [ 16].
Building on these international recommendations and resources requires leadership, political will, some level of country-specific financial resources, and rigorous evaluative and problem-solving approaches.
But this needs to be combined with a more rigorous method for allocating resources only to where the prospects for success are greatest.
Yet the expression of identified genes within core genomes is rarely verified by experimental observation due to the extensive resources and rigorous experimental design required to do so.
We developed a capacity survey to tabulate each hospital's critical care resources using rigorous methodology [ 13].
Lessons from Uganda include the need for substantial enough incentives directly tied to results, autonomy for health facilities to make decisions and to use resources, and rigorous verification of results [ 37].
To bridge the evidence gap, there is a need for large research trials to report stillbirths disaggregated from the perinatal mortality composite measure as an outcome whenever feasible, and for rigorous RCTs in low-resource settings.
The video is a product of the Austin Institute for the Study of Family and Culture, a Texas-based think tank whose mission is "to be a leading resource for tested, rigorous academic research on questions of family, sexuality, social structures and human relationships," by which they appear to mean research in favor of families with one father married to one mother (preferably stay-at-home).
