Nasser, Mona, Oliver, Sandy, Uhm, Seilin S. and Bhaumik, Soumyadeep (2016) Improving transparency and accountability of priority setting exercises: time for a reporting guideline? 2016 Cochrane Colloquium, , Seoul, Korea, Republic of. 24 - 26 Oct 2016.

Abstract

Objectives:
1. To explore the need for a reporting guideline for research priority setting exercises.
2. To discuss checklist items for a reporting guideline for research priority setting exercises.

Background: concerns about approximately 85% of biomedical research being wasted has led to a flood of priority-setting exercises, not only to prevent conduct of redundant research, but also to ensure optimum usage of resources. The reporting quality of priority-setting exercises, as with other publication types, might vary, hampering the ability to see how priorities were set to ensure transparency and accountability for the process.

Description: the workshop will start with a presentation on a suggested structure for reporting a research priority-setting exercise giving examples from the literature. Following this, participants will have a hands-on exercise to evaluate reporting of certain articles on this topic. We finish the session with a facilitated discussion to develop a draft for reporting items for research priority setting.
