Research Strategy, 2005 - 2010
Process
Following a board strategy workshop in August 2005, a research strategy task team was constituted comprising MRC unit directors, members of the Executive Management Committee, and a facilitator from outside the MRC. This was followed by a period of individual communication between the facilitator and the team members to solicit preliminary inputs for the synthesis of a discussion document.
A task team workshop was held on 28 September 2005 to discuss the initial document, with a view to producing a draft research strategy for ratification at the second workshop on 24 October 2005. Input into the draft MRC research strategy was obtained from MRC unit directors during November 2005 and the draft document was presented to, and amended by, the Research and Development Committee of the MRC Board on 26 November 2005. The research strategy document was further refined at a meeting of members of the Research and Development Committee and the MRC Executive on 11 January 2006 in preparation for presentation to the full MRC Board on 20 January 2006. |
