THE CABINET OF HEALTH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, TIMOR-LESTE<BR>
<BR>
The Ministry of Health, Timor-Leste, is pleased to announce the establishment of the new Cabinet of Health Research and Development.<BR>
<BR>
The aim of this Cabinet is to co-ordinate and integrate health research in the country, and to provide accurate data and information for health system planning and policy. We hope to promote more and better health research in Timor-Leste, through research methodology training workshops, advocacy and mobilisation of resources.<BR>
<BR>
The Cabinet will have a Technical and Ethical Committee to evaluate all proposals to conduct health research in Timor-Leste. We are also building a reference database of existing health research related to Timor-Leste. <BR>
<BR>
If you have conducted health-related research in Timor-Leste in the past, we would be grateful if you could send the citation and .pdf to us to add to the database: <a href="timorlestehealthresearch@gmail.com">timorlestehealthresearch@gmail.com</a>.<BR>
<BR>
All future health research proposals should be submitted to the Cabinet for technical review and ethical approval.<BR>
<BR>
Our office is based at the Institute of Health Sciences, 2nd Floor, Central Building, Kampung Baru, Comoro, Dili. Please call +670 7387167 or email us for more information.<BR>
