Recommendations for future research

Conduct additional analyses to understand the factors that contribute to successful and sustained long-term research collaborations and co-authorships, and the resulting outcomes of long-term partnerships.

Perform a landscape analysis of funding sources from within Kenya and internationally to develop sustained cancer research infrastructure in Kenya.

Conduct additional sub-analyses on research grant awards and authorship, including number of direct awards to Kenyan investigators, distribution by gender, institutional affiliation, funding source, and other key fields.

Promote increased opportunities for open access publishing for cancer researchers in Kenya and the African region and increased visibility of Africa-based regional biomedical journals.

Develop a research agenda for Kenya that includes focus on high burden cancers not currently studied and healthcare delivery research.
