Abstract
Increasingly, there is a need for national governments,
public-private partnerships, private sector and other funding
agencies to set priorities in health research investments
in a fair and transparent way. A process of priority
setting is always an activity driven by values of wide range
of stakeholders, which are often conflicting. This process
always occurs in a highly specific context (eg, agreed policies
and targets in terms of disease burden reduction and
time limit, defined geographic space, population and specific
health problems).
