Figure 1. CHNRI's Conceptual Framework
This framework shows key steps required to get from investments in health research options to decrease in burden of death, disease, or disability. The framework identifies criteria that are important for discriminating among competing research options and judging the likelihood that they will achieve their goals: (i) answerability; (ii) effectiveness; (iii) deliverability; (iv) maximum potential for disease burden reduction; and (v) predicted impact on equity in the population (right side). These criteria are not necessarily what drive investment decisions in health research today (left side).
