Research Strategy, 2005 - 2010
MRC research priorities
The MRC's research prioritisation, research portfolio, and resource allocation are based on three major inputs:
- The burden of disease and health profile of South Africa as outlined by the Combined Approach of the Ad Hoc Committee on Health Research for Development
- Strategic priorities in health and development in South Africa as identified by such initiatives as South Africa's Foresight Exercise, South African Government programmes and the NEPAD Secretariat
- The need for the training and capacity building in health research.
The high-level research strategy presented here is based on the above three key drivers for health research priorities in South Africa and the region. |
