In August 2022, the Free State Provincial Health Research Committee used the online nominal group technique (NGT) for Health Research Priority Setting (HRPS) for the Free State Department of Health (FSDoH) and the research community, considering various stakeholders' perspectives. This paper explores and describes the identified health research priorities. It also assesses their alignment with the National Health Research Strategy. Additionally, it provides an opinion on the feasibility of using the online NGT for collaborative co-creation of provincial-level health research priorities. Most of the identified health research priorities resonate with the national health research priorities identified by the National Health Research Committee. However, research to "" was uniquely perceived to be a priority by the participants in the Free State HRPS exercise. A plausible reason for this might be their heightened awareness of the vital role optimal surveillance systems play in coordinating intersectoral responses to pandemics, particularly considering the serious challenges emerging during the initial stages of the COVID-19 outbreak.
2022 年 8 月，自由州省卫生研究委员会采用在线名义群体技术（NGT）进行卫生研究重点设定（HRPS），供自由州卫生部（FSDoH）和研究界考虑各种利益相关者的观点。本文探讨并描述了确定的卫生研究重点。它还评估了它们与国家卫生研究战略的一致性。此外，它对在线 NGT 在省级卫生研究重点的合作共创中的可行性提供了意见。确定的大多数卫生研究重点与国家卫生研究委员会确定的国家卫生研究重点相呼应。然而，参与者认为，“”的研究是自由州 HRPS 活动中的一个独特优先事项。造成这种情况的一个合理原因可能是他们高度意识到最佳监测系统在协调部门间对大流行病的反应方面发挥的重要作用，特别是考虑到在 COVID-19 爆发初期出现的严重挑战。
