The Global Forum also adopted innovative approaches in a number of areas of its own work during the year, seeking always fresh ways to increase the visibility and impact of its messages and to enhance its engagement with its key target audiences. The mission of the Global Forum is to focus more attention and resources on health research that will benefit poor populations in developing countries. The Global Forum’s overall objective is therefore to achieve improvement in the allocation of research funds, support of better priority setting processes and methodologies, promotion of relevant research, support for concerted efforts in health research and dissemination of the research findings. In pursuing this, the Global Forum has engaged in gathering information and evidence concerning investments in health research and the identification of major gaps and needs in health research for developing countries; and the development of channels of communication to bring this information to the attention of those making policy and controlling resources for health research, in order to influence priorities."(pg 1)engWith permission of the license/copyright holderhealth ethicsBioethicsHealth ethicsConference proceedings
