This article introduces the WHO health research system analysis (HRSA) initiative as an input to the World Health Report 2004 on health research, "Knowledge for Better Health". Section 2 presents the HRSA conceptual framework for operational description and analysis of national health research from a system rather than sector perspective. Section 3 summarizes research projects addressing contemporary cross-national issues, aiming to: provide answers to key questions, further explore contested areas within systems, and improve decision-making on research investment options. Section 4 summarizes the comprehensive country studies on research systems. Section 5 outlines a pilot study on methods for 18 comprehensive country studies, including Brazil, Chile, and Costa Rica. Section 6 concludes that the pilot study and eventual main phase to describe and analyze national health research systems will demonstrate WHO's commitment to strengthening capacity in partnership with countries.

Analisis kinerja fungsi sistem penelitian kesehatan nasional (SPKN) diperlukan untuk identifikasi penguatan dan peningkatan sistem yang mendukung pencapaian pemerataan kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengukur skor kinerja fungsi utama SPKN yang meliputi pengelola, pendanaan, mengumpulkan dan memelihara sumber, produksi dan penggunaan riset berdasarkan pendapat stakeholders (peneliti, pembuat kebijakan, dan pengguna). Sumber data yang digunakan adalah pilot study WHO di Jakarta dan Makassar WHO dengan ukuran sampel 278 responden. Analisis dilakukan terhadap skor rata-rata 6 dimensi pendapat meliputi lingkungan; pandangan sistem, pembuatan, penggunaan, akses literur ilmiah dan media. Metoda analsis meliputi analisis kuantitatif univariat dan cross tabulasi tanpa uji statistik dan analisis kualitatif terhadap pertanyaan terbuka. Hasil studi memperlihatkan distribusi responden meliputi peneliti (62.2%), pembuat kebijakan (21.6%) dan peng- guna (16.2%). Secara keseluruhan, kinerja fungsi sistem litkes dinilai belum baik oleh 54,7% responden. Kinerja baik ditemukan pada fungsi pengelola dan penghasil riset. Sebaliknya kinerja tidak baik pada fungsi pengumpul dan pemelihara sumber daya, menggunakan riset, akses literatur ilmiah dan akses media. Analisis kuali- tatif memperlihatkan lima area yang berkontribusi penting pada penguatan lingkungan penelitian di indonesia meliputi pendanaan, fasilitas, gaji, kerjasama, dan komunikasi. Komponen yang dinyatakan penting pada penguatan sistem litkes adalah visi, sumber data manusia, pendanaan, etik litkes dan alokasi. Prioritas utama SPKN adalah masalah kesehatan masa depan dan masalah kesehatan yang persisten (bertahan lama). Disimpulkan bahwa SPKN belum berfungsi optimal. Peningkatan dapat dilakukan dengan revisi dan reorientasi prioritas SPKN antar stakeholders, peningkatan alokasi dana, optimalisasi peran dan fungsi jaringan litbangkes, serta peningkatan fungsi stewardship badan litbangkes dalam kapasitas kepemimpinan ilmiah yang baik.Kata kunci : Penilaian kinerja, sistem riset kesehatan nasionalAbstractNational health research system (NHRS) performance assessment will be very important to strengthen the capability of NHRS in order to improve the advancement of knowledge and health equity. The objective of this study is to measure the three functions performance of stewardship, creating and sustaining resources and producing and utilizing of health research based on the perceptions of NHRS stakeholders (researchers, policy makers and users). This study used secondary data WHO pilot study which was carried out in Jakarta and Makassar, in 2003-2004. The study design used is cross sectional with quantitative and qualitative data analy- sis for 278 respondents of NHRS individual survey. The respondents consist of NHRS stakeholders such as researchers (62.2%), policy makers (21.6%) and research users (16.2%). Overall performance of NHRS functions has been perceived as not well performed by 50.4% respondents. Good performances only on stewardship and producing research have been perceived by respondents. In the other hand, the performance of creating and sustaining resources, research utilization, access to scientific literatures and to media have been perceived unsatisfactorily by the respondents. Important contribution areas in improvement and strengthening the NHRS in Indonesia are: networking, facility, budget, collaboration and communication. While important contribution components in Indonesia are vision, human resources, ethics, budget and allocation. The main research priorities were identified as future health problem and persistent health problem in all respondent’s groups. In sum- mary, NHRS were not yet in optimum well functions., to strengthen the system: pledged to increase budget allocation and improve budget accountability; activating the national and local net working of health research and development, improvement of stewardship function of NHRS in its capacity as ‘good scientific leadership’Key words : Health research system, performance assessment.

It is difficult to disagree with Chilvers & Clark that, overall, recent work to bring a more systematic approach to the organisation of mental health research in England has been a good thing. It is also necessary if mental health is to compete for research funding with other branches of healthcare. However, recent changes in the research system have not all been positive and there is a danger that the process of centralisation, which is inherent to the model they describe, will have unintended adverse consequences.

Background and Objective. This paper aims to describe long-term visions for health research in the Philippines. Ambisyon Natin 2040, an overarching vision for a dynamic country by the year 2040, is its main inspiration as this enables innovation and sustainable development. Methods. The health research profile conceptual framework developed by Tugwell et al., (2006) was utilized to structure the articulation of these visions. Review of related literature, reports, and documents and in-depth interviews with key players in health research were conducted. Results. In view of economic and technological developments in the country, it is expected that in 2040, health research priorities shall be more trans-disciplinary and more advanced. Research on health regulation and ethics will continue to be of importance. A more enabling environment for health research is also envisioned, since majority of research funding is expected to come from government, in addition to more research-friendly laws. More innovative platforms will be utilized to disseminate research results. The increasing international exposure and impact of academic work in the Philippines is also envisaged. Conclusion and Recommendations. Health research in the Philippines has been benefitted by a lot of gains and advances in the past years. Thus, to create an enabling health research system in the Philippines by 2040, focusing on innovations in health research, increased number of funding sources, and crafting of better policies on health research should be pursued. Sustaining these gains and advancing health research in our country entail collective effort from different stakeholders, both public and private.
