Research+Capacity

=Research Capacity (N=2)=


 * Definition 1:** Health research capacity is the ability to define problems, set objectives and priorities, build sustainable institutions and organisations, and identify solutions to key national health problems.[4] This definition encompasses research capacity at the levels of individuals, research groups, institutions, and nations. Research capacity can broadly be divided into four domains: skills and competencies; scientific activities; outcomes; and impacts on policies and programmes.[5] Measures on process, outcome, and impact are necessary to capture a comprehensive picture of research capacity (fig 1).
