  • Encourage and promote joint learning opportunities and exchange of information on research methods and innovations
  • Promote the use of rigorous HSR methods in addressing health and healthcare issues around the globe
  • Support the development of a diverse, well-trained, and experienced HSR workforce globally
  • Create opportunities for international collaboration in the dissemination and implementation of HSR for health policy and practice.
