How can the Global Observatory on Health R&D be used?
The users of the Observatory are governments, policy-makers, funders, researchers and civil society. Much of the information is provided as interactive infographics/visualizations that allow users to explore data in detail. It also includes relevant compilations of resources, databases, syntheses and tools.
It can be used to:
- review and query information on current trends, for example, in investment in health R&D, products in the pipeline and clinical trials [Monitoring R&D inputs, processes and outputs]
- look at comparisons of R&D activities between countries, diseases and in relation to relevant information such as burden of disease or macroeconomic indicators [Benchmarking]
- review global indicators on health R&D in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or more generally [R&D indicators]
- consult comprehensive disease-specific analyses on identified needs and priorities (where set) [R&D analyses/synthesis] find relevant key publications, databases and resources [Databases and resources] consult the classifications and standards in use by the Observatory as a step towards galvanizing wider discussion and consensus to harmonize approaches to collect and share R&D data [Classifications and standards].
