WHY? • Demand-ongoing and future health threats will require more research • Concern- emerging research areas present potential benefits but also threats & harms • Desire for accountability-growing expectation that scientific evidence should inform decisions in health, and that impact of programmes are rigorously evaluated • Drive for social justice-increasing concern that research be conducted ethically, be transparent & accountable, and its results accessible - so that benefits & outcomes are equitably shared by all • Uncertainty and lack of trust
