projects concern HRH development, 1 the health information systems, 1 the drug supply and 2 specifically the capacity developments of health policies and systems. Most of the research comprises projects in HPSR&A [SOPH self-evaluation report for academic review, 2010, p.15]. The projects title, topic, number of researchers involved, type of funding, and duration are displayed in the table 1 below. To be noted that researchers are involved in more than one project, especially the senior researchers. There is an average of 3 researchers per project. The total financial value of these current HPSR&A projects is difficult to estimate as projects have different funding cycles and many projects, while not identified as HPSR&A project, have health systems foci and elements. In 2010 the SOPH’s overall grant-funded budget stood at R23million (around mill). At least 2/3 of this would €2.5 be funding HPSR activities. The total value of commissioned projects was R2,44mill.
