Monitoring Financial Flows For Health Research

Oct 01, 2001
  • Description

This study aims to provide decisionmakers with an overview of currently available information on resource flows into health research. In this rapidly changing environment of funding flows into health research, it is critical to have access to information and to analyse it on an ongoing basis. The main feature of the study is less to provide an overall figure than to describe the process for arriving at these estimates as a basis for further improvements, and to indicate what to expect from the various data sources and research approaches. In addition, this study presents information on health research funding by developing countries not previously available.
