A panel of speakers – Fréjus Thoto, Zhaleh Abdi, and Ben Miyamoto – shared practical examples of how the global research agenda is informing institutional strategies, national priority‑setting, and approaches to funding. The event concluded with an overview of the global research agenda dissemination products presented by WHO’s Tarang Sharma, including the forthcoming WHO project report, a preprint manuscript, and a slide deck and infographic designed to support country and organizational use.
As the first installment in the series, the webinar also gathered participants’ suggestions for future sessions. These inputs will guide upcoming discussions to ensure the series responds to country needs and supports the practical uptake of the research agenda.
The event marked an important step in shifting from developing the global research agenda to actively implementing it, helping countries and partners strengthen the use of evidence and reduce duplication of research efforts.
