2. WHO Strategy on Research for Health
WHO's role in research & role of research in WHO
Requested by Member States during 60th WHA (2007)
Extensive consultative process (HQ & regions ( )
Approved by 63rd WHA (2010)
Implementation in regions from 2010 (Progress Report to EB/WHA in 2012)

3. 3 Principles
Quality - high-quality research that is ethical, expertly reviewed, efficient, effective, accessible to all, and carefully monitored and evaluated.
Impact - priority for research with greatest potential to improve global health security, health-related development, redress health inequities and attain MDGs
Inclusiveness - work in partnership, Member States and stakeholders, multisectoral approach, support and promote the participation of communities and civil society in the research process.

Research for Health

10. WHY?
Demand-ongoing and future health threats will require more research
Concern- emerging research areas present potential benefits but also threats & harms
Desire for accountability-growing expectation that scientific evidence should inform decisions in health, and that impact of programmes are rigorously evaluated
Drive for social justice-increasing concern that research be conducted ethically, be transparent & accountable, and its results accessible - so that benefits & outcomes are equitably shared by all
Uncertainty and lack of trust

14. DG's Expectations Demystify research Target non-researchers
Primary audience: ministers of health
Of practical value to LMIC's, outward, forward-looking
Permits everyone to see their place in producing and using research
Send a message that research serves the core business of all actors in health
Not simply showcasing WHO's achievements in research
