Setting priorities for health research is a difficult task, especially for the neglected diseases of the poor. A new approach to priority setting for tropical diseases research has been adopted by the UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (known as the TDR). Priorities are defined on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of research needs and research opportunities for each of the ten major tropical diseases in the TDR portfolio. The resulting strategic emphases matrix reflects the priorities for tropical diseases research from the perspective of the TDR. Its purpose is not to impose global research priorities, but we believe the results could be useful to other organizations.
确定卫生研究的优先事项是一项艰巨的任务，对于贫困人群所患的被忽视疾病而言尤其如此。联合国开发计划署/世界银行/世界卫生组织热带病研究和培训特别规划署（简称TDR）采用了一种新的确定热带病研究优先事项的方法。优先事项是在对TDR项目组合中的十种主要热带病各自的研究需求和研究机会进行全面分析的基础上确定的。由此产生的战略重点矩阵反映了从TDR角度出发的热带病研究优先事项。其目的不是强加全球研究优先事项，但我们认为这些结果可能对其他组织有用。
