 here for more information on monitoring financial flows for health
research.

Data on research and development (R&D) investments for health provide an
indicator of current research priorities, trends, overlaps and gaps. As
efforts to address the health needs of poor populations are evolving, it is
vital to regularly track these investments to make sure they are used in
more efficient, effective and equitable ways. The Global Forum for Health
Research is the only organization that regularly tracks and reports on the
world's R&D investments for health.

This 2007 collection of studies looks behind the global totals, analyzing
R&D for health expenditures in Argentina, China, Mexico and the United
States. It also looks at investments in the research of cancer and 20
historically high-burden infectious diseases.
