Sectoral plan of research and innovation in health- PENCYT 2006–2010 [17] (Priority-setting I) | Structured into nine Health Themes: |
1- Consolidation of health research as a generator of evidence for decision making. | |
2- Reinforcement of research in prioritized disease and mortality themes (non-transmissible diseases). | |
3- Reinforcement of research for the prevention and control of transmissible diseases. | |
4- Reinforcement of research in health management, public health, and service provision. | |
5- Utilization of the System to achieve better impact from health actions. | |
6- Determination of social factors and risk factors of disease. | |
7- Development of a health research system. | |
8- Development of research in technology evaluation. | |
9- Strengthen the capacity of ICGES’s leadership. | |
Inter-sectoral and inter-institutional workshop on policies and priorities in health research 2007 [33] (Priority-setting II) | Structured into six General Areas: |
1- Health and environment: water contamination/exposure to transmissible disease vectors. | |
2- Behavior and lifestyle: nutrition/problems linked to exposure to social risks. | |
3- Education and citizen participation: health education/awareness of rights and responsibilities in health. | |
4- Disease burden and mortality: transmissible diseases/emergent and re-emergent diseases. | |
5- Health services: organization of services/quality of services. | |
6- Inequality in health: inequality in resources in services offered/distribution of mortality, life expectancy, YPLL, birth weight, median school-age, height, and psychomotor development. | |
National ST&I Program for the Development of Biosciences and Health Sciences/PENCYT 2010–2014 [34] (Priority-setting III) | Complex structure simultaneously applied to biosciences and health sciences: |
1- Priority actions for human resources reinforcement. | |
2- Priority areas in bioscience and health science training. | |
3- Priority actions at the level of research and development in biosciences and health sciences. | |
4- Priority thematic areas in R&D in biosciences and health sciences: | |
a) Prioritization workshop areas (COHRED-SENACYT 2007) (see previous plan). | |
b) Research priorities associated with specific diseases in the short, medium, and long term. | |
c) Other thematic priorities in research and health determinants. | |
d) Priorities at the level of innovation (national registry system of research projects and others). |
