Publications are one step along the learning path of COHRED’s work with countries. This includes activities such as technical support, think tanks, consultations and other interactions with partners – all aiming at strengthening national health research systems.

COHRED’s work is published in a variety of ways – ranging from reports to policy syntheses, peer reviewed papers, manuals and learning materials.

• Building & strengthening national health research systems
  This manual is designed to support the efforts of forward-looking health research leaders in low- and middle-income countries – directors of research, senior managers, medical school deans, and leaders of major health research programmes, and those in similar roles.

• Record Papers
  COHRED Record Papers document the work of COHRED initiatives and work with partners and are prepared for rapid dissemination of information, of potential interest to others working in research for health.

  GFHR publications document the work of the GFHR leading up to its merger with the COHRED. The publications highlight the proceedings and outcomes from the previous Global Forums and they also portray initiatives and work with various partners. They are also made available here for the potential interest to others working in research for health.
