Funder principles for research in epidemics
A set of principles to align research funders towards a coordinated effort for supporting high-quality research for the most pressing global needs in epidemics and pandemics.
This report reviews frameworks for strengthening research systems, gives examples of policies to improve RCS systems, and analyses the landscape of organisations engaged in research management or RCS in sub-Saharan Africa.
The report was produced for the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) Knowledge, Evidence and Learning for Development (K4D) helpdesk to inform DFID policy on strengthening research systems.
