Evidence-based priority setting for health research

One of the most pressing global health problems is that there is a mismatch between the health research that is needed and the research that is undertaken. This results in the neglect of important areas of health research. This project investigates global-level processes for health research prioritization, and makes suggestions for how these can be improved.
