Luis Gabriel Cuervo, Senior Advisor, Research for Health, at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, shared on LinkedIn:
“Health research policies and agendas are far more than technical documents. They are strategic tools for aligning research with population health needs, guiding investments, strengthening research systems, and maximizing the societal value of research.
I am pleased to share this Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) publication, available in open access in English and Spanish, which provides practical checklists and recommendations to support countries in developing, updating, and implementing national health research policies and agendas.
Drawing on international good practices and decades of experience and testing across the Americas, this resource is intended for ministries of health, research institutions, funding agencies, universities, and everyone committed to strengthening research governance and evidence-informed policymaking.
I am confident it will help countries and institutions ensure that research is relevant, impactful, equitable, and responsive to society’s priorities.
Available in open access in English and Spanish:
Pan American Health Organization. Checklists of good practices and recommendations for developing national policies and agendas on research for health. Second edition. Washington, D.C.: PAHO; 2026.”
