Abstract

"Data on investments in research and development (R&D) for health provide an indicator of current research priorities, trends, overlaps and gaps. As efforts to address the health needs of poor populations are evolving, it is vital to regularly track these investments to make sure they are used better: in more efficient, effective and equitable ways.
The Global Forum for Health Research is the only organization that regularly tracks and reports on the world's R&D investments for health. In this 2008 edition, it provides new estimates of the investments in R&D for health globally and by sectors of performance and sources of funds.
Over the course of several decades the world has accumulated a substantial array of targets, commitments and aspirations relating to resources for development, health, research and health research. The Global Forum begins a regular review of these measures and global progress towards their implementation - a "Report Card" on global efforts relevant to R&D for health."
