The strongest research is that started as a question in clinical practice, taken to expert researchers, then turned into an answerable research question, checked in the lab and then tested in the clinic or community. (University) use systemic reviews to identify knowledge gaps and avoid duplicating existing research Systemic reviews are used to identify uncertainties that need to be addressed by health research. A database of research priorities thus identified may be utilised when taking funding decisions (e.g. .

For example, the addiction sector could set 5 research priorities which get disseminated to universities/academic institutions with a view to someone there picking up on doing the research in partnership with service and sector needs.

Unlocking factors to address health inequities. (Other) use a nationally coordinated partnership with district health boards as a mechanism for involving district health boards in the prioritisation process. The Dunedin research prioritisation focus group put forward this idea, as well as suggesting that a national coordinated partnership between district health boards and academics would be a useful mechanism for involving district health boards in the prioritisation process. In addition to providing feedback on research prioritisation models, submissions identified the following specific health research priorities: research to achieve health equity across population groups in New Zealand (including equity of access to services): 44 submissions research on social, environmental and economic determinants of health (both national and international, such as climate change): 30 submissions research on delivery of health services and clinical innovations in both primary and secondary/tertiary care: 26 submissions research on specific groups or conditions (for example, mental health, palliative care, disability, community, rural populations): 26 submissions research focused on translating and implementing the results of health research (for example, clinical trials, and translational, implementation or evaluation research): 22 submissions research by Māori for Māori, acknowledging the Treaty of Waitangi and the special relationship between Māori and the Crown (particularly using Kaupapa Māori methodologies): 20 submissions investigator-led excellent research (investing in trial of established excellence, internationally competitive high-impact research): 18 submissions
