Impact of health research on advances in knowledge, research capacity-building and evidence-informed policies: a case study on maternal mortality and morbidity in Brazil

Abstract

Impacto da pesquisa em saúde nos avanços de conhecimento, construção de capacidades de pesquisa e políticas informadas por evidências: um estudo de caso sobre a morbimortalidade materna no Brasil

A decade of Ecuador´s efforts to raise its health research output: a bibliometric analysis

“…We did not measure agreement among reviewers; thus, the possibility of misclassification cannot be ruled out. This study did not assess other dimensions or indices to identify and evaluate the impact of research such as morbidity or disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) [24], research capacity-building, informing decision-making, health benefits, and economic and social benefits, since the data available to us did not provide the information needed to incorporate these complex indicators [28]. We cannot claim causality of the implemented P&I (M14 and LOES) despite the evident increased in HSRA over time.…”

What funders are doing to assess the impact of their investments in health and biomedical research

“…It is worth noting that the capacity to perform RIAs of funder portfolios is likely concentrated among a small community: five first authors were attributed to two review papers each (Angulo-Tuesta [ 79 , 80 ], De Jongh [ 81 , 82 ], Glover [ 35 , 62 ], Guthrie [ 71 , 72 ] and Welch [ 52 , 53 ]), and many article collaborators appeared across multiple papers within the review.…”

Processos e desafios da interação entre pesquisa e política na perspectiva dos pesquisadores

“…Research impact evaluation studies show empirical evidence, mainly in advancing knowledge (production of scientific papers, thesis, dissertations, abstracts published in annals of scientific events and showing results in various academic and decision-making forums) and building research capacity (master's and doctoral training, teacher career improvement); modest impact on management and clinical practice, and health interventions (elaboration of clinical protocols, educational materials, program development) [18][19][20] . In this study, motivations and interests expressed by respondents to participate in processes of direct interaction and mediation between academia and other social stakeholders in the use of research in politics coexist with the perspective of addressing and overcoming realities permeated by tensions mainly related to four issues.…”
