6 Making priorities work
Ensure action after the priority setting, and continuous review of progress.
Key actions
Develop a plan of work with:
- Encourage government support to the research agenda – i.e. a dedicated budget line for health research
- Organise funders’ conference to communicate and get buy in the research agenda
- Encourage researchers to focus their efforts on priority areas: i.e. through call for proposals
- Create regular opportunities for updating the research agenda in light of new evidence and arguments, or in response to new health problems
- Create open appeal mechanisms for challenge and dispute resolution regarding defined agenda
