More than 40 agencies that fund health research capacity strengthening in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) participate in the ESSENCE Health Research initiative, which has established a mechanism for reviewing and coordinating their funding. Taken together, the expected outcomes of implementation of the review mechanism are increases in the efficiency and equity in health research capacity strengthening activities with decreased duplication of efforts. The overall goal is increased support of research on national health priorities as well as improved pandemic preparedness in LMICs, and, eventually, fewer countries with very limited research capacity.
超过 40 个为中低收入国家（LMICs）的卫生研究能力建设提供资金的机构参与了 ESSENCE 卫生研究倡议，该倡议建立了一个审查和协调其资金的机制。审查机制的实施预期结果是提高卫生研究能力建设活动的效率和公平性，减少工作重复。总体目标是加强对国家卫生重点的研究支持，以及改善中低收入国家的大流行病防范工作，最终减少那些研究能力非常有限的国家数量。
