Abstract

A systematic, evidence-based and inclusive process is critical to identifying and setting the research priorities that will make the greatest contribution to people's health. The Combined Approach Matrix is a tool developed by the Global Forum for Health Research that enables the collection, organization and analysis of the information necessary to set research priorities based on a scientific process involving all stakeholders in health and research for health. The tool facilitates comparisons between the likely cost-effectiveness of different types of interventions. It also helps institutions at the national, regional and global levels ensure that more health research is conducted on the most important and often most neglected areas of diseases and the multi-faceted determinants of health.
