Table 3.

An example of a simple questionnaire that can be used to survey different stakeholders and obtain their input into the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative process

               Below are the criteria that can be used to set priorities in health research investments. - In the “threshold” column, please enter the minimum acceptable score (on a scale 0-100) for each criterion that should be achieved by proposed health research to receive funding support.
               - In the “weight” column, please distribute a total of US $100 to the 5 proposed criteria to reflect how much does each criterion matter to you.
               Criterion                Threshold                Weight
               Answerability (likelihood that the research will indeed reach its proposed endpoints)
               Effectiveness (likelihood that the results of the research will have effect against the disease)
               Deliverability (likelihood that the results of the research will be delivered to those who need them)
               Maximum impact (likelihood that the research can influence a substantial share of disease cases)
               Equity (likelihood that the results of the research will improve health inequities in the population)
