Description: This paper is a review of the issues around research priority setting, especially as they relate to health problems of developing countries. The paper proposes a strategy of priority setting, based on lessons learned from ENHR approaches attempted in several developing countries. With equity in health and development as its goal, the proposed model is demand-driven and involves multi-dimensional inputs and multiple stakeholders. Various steps of the process are discussed and the paper concludes with a discussion about the gap between national research priorities and the agenda set at regional and global levels.
