Strengthening capacity in poorer countries to generate multi-disciplinary health research and to utilise research findings, is one of the most effective ways of advancing the countries' health and development. This paper explores current knowledge about how to design health research capacity strengthening (RCS) programmes and how to measure their progress and impact. It describes a systematic, evidence-based approach for designing such programmes and highlights some of the key challenges that will be faced in the next 10 years. These include designing and implementing common frameworks to facilitate comparisons among capacity strengthening projects, and developing monitoring indicators that can capture their interactions with knowledge users and their impact on changes in health systems.
加强较贫穷国家开展多学科卫生研究及利用研究成果的能力，是促进这些国家卫生与发展的最有效途径之一。本文探讨了关于如何设计卫生研究能力加强（RCS）项目以及如何衡量其进展和影响的现有知识。它描述了一种用于设计此类项目的系统的、基于证据的方法，并强调了未来10年将面临的一些关键挑战。这些挑战包括设计和实施通用框架以促进能力加强项目之间的比较，以及制定能够反映其与知识使用者的互动及其对卫生系统变化影响的监测指标。
