PS CriteriaPS Criteria•magnitude, relevance, urgency, expected impact
•answerability•applicability, deliverability, affordability, sustainability
•maximum potential to reduce BOD equitably
•originality•research capacity and feasibility•policy relevance
PS ChecklistPS Checklist•context: which factors underpin the process?•approach: comprehensive? appropriate?•inclusivity: suffificient representation?•information: is it inclusive? accessible?• planning: how will priorities be enforced?• criteria: how will they be determined?• methods: how to decide among priorities?• evaluation: of the process and the priorities• transparency: disseminating process variables

Measure the magnitude (e.g. using summary measures
like DALY)
Assess present knowledge base to
evaluate applicability of solutions
Calculate present level of research
investment on the problem
review of evidence relevant to interventions
targeting problem
structures, institutions at national, international
level that may increase/decrease the
burden of disease
assess role of all other actors related to the problem
Assess against other possible, available
interventions
Analyse factors responsible for
problem’s persistence

Technical expertsdefine context, definitions,

Research Options experts create list of priority
options from health policy and systems research; research on
existing interventions; research on new interventions.
Scoring Optionsexperts score each option
against 5 established criteria of answerability; efficacy and
effectiveness; deliverability and affordability; potential for disease burden reduction;
equity.
Stakeholder consultationLRG determines weights for
criteria, ranking them from 1-5. Weights applied to options into
final ranked priority list.
PBMA“value” of each priority option balanced by proposed cost; this list disseminated to the public for review, appeal, finalization;
experts advocate for option implementation.

Situation analysismap available data on research
governance, management; profile current production,
capacity and use of research; assess performance of health research sector; identify PS
stakeholders
Set the scenedetermine focus and scope: PS
to address diseases, health system, etc; timeframe; level.
Ethical standards defined. Engage partners.
Choose PS Methoduse PS methods best suited to
context. Consider using multiple methods. Adapt methods to
context.
PS Exerciseimplement management
framework; monitor process; evaluate outputs and outcomes; publicize; allow appeals; revise.
Implement prioritiesdetermine strategies to smooth
integrated priorities into national agenda; monitor and
evaluate; detemine time to review priorities
Managementdevelop a management
framework to specify: methods; expected outputs;
responsibilities; timelines, M&E etc.
