Alert: Systematic Reviews for International Development

The UK Department for International Development (DFID) is launching a systematic review project to enhance evidence-informed decision-making. This initiative encourages a broad-based approach to systematic reviewing, integrating theory and both qualitative and quantitative data. DFID will be commissioning review teams in February, involving a lead researcher and assistants. The systematic reviews, targeted for publication in peer-reviewed journals, will evaluate evidence for key DFID policy questions. Interested parties should watch for the call for proposals in early February.

Presentation Transcript

  1. DFID is currently developing a set of priority systematic review questions. DFID will encourage a broad-based approach to systematic reviewing that incorporates theory and uses qualitative and/or quantitative data. DFID will be commissioning reviewers and review teams in February and expect the review process to involve 1 lead researcher and 1 or 2 research assistants. The systematic reviews should be suitable for publication in a peer review journal and will also provide a timely and rigorous assessment of the evidence base for key DFID policy questions. Delivery of systematic reviews should be between March and August 2010. If you are interested in forming a review team and being part of a cutting-edge pilot to increase the use of evidence in policy, please look out for the call for proposals in early February. Alert: Systematic Reviews for International Development The UK Department for International Development (DFID) is piloting an exciting systematic review project that aims to strengthen evidence-informed decision making. This alert is to disseminate awareness of an upcoming call for systematic review groups.  Systematic reviewing is a well-established methodology that aims to bring the rigour of primary studies to secondary studies and surveys. In brief, they systematically map the evidence base, critically appraise the evidence and produce a synthesis of the best available evidence. DFID will commission 25 systematic reviews on February 1st 2010 focusing on 5 thematic areas: Agriculture and Food Climate and the Environment Governance in Challenging Environments Growth Human Development Contact: Max Gasteen M-Gasteen@dfid.gov.uk
