Summary: This paper examines the concerns about digital agriculture reinforcing industrialized models of agriculture and power inequalities. It argues that evidence-based governance is needed to anticipate and regulate digital agriculture technologies before such reinforcing effects occur. The paper introduces the concept of directionalities and uses two interconnecting meta-themes, organizational capacity and human capacity, to broaden the scope of inquiry about digital agriculture. It concludes by outlining the implications of this new perspective on research in the UK and internationally.

Summary: Effective procurement of infrastructure is crucial for achieving the sustainable development goals. This research identified three components of organizational procurement capacity and found that management of the procurement process had the greatest impact on achieving procurement objectives. The study provides empirical justification for investing in the development of procurement capacity in public agencies involved in infrastructure procurement.

Summary: Collaborative research approaches such as co-production, co-design, engaged scholarship, and IKT aim to bridge the gap between evidence and practice. While there are benefits to these approaches, challenges in establishing and maintaining research partnerships exist. This scoping review aims to explore how health research trainees engage in IKT or other research partnership approaches.

Summary: Health policy and systems research (HPSR) is a neglected area in global health financing, with only 2% of funding calls including a discernible HPSR component. Efforts should be made to convince global health funders to institutionalize the inclusion of HPSR components in all funding calls.

Summary: Research-practice partnerships are long-term collaborations between research and practice that aim to improve practice. This project aims to explore whether the RPP approach can be applied successfully in English care homes. The study takes a theory-based approach, using a mixed-methods design, to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of RPPs in the care home context.

Summary: The study assessed the success of Neurosurgery Research and Education Foundation (NREF) awardees in obtaining subsequent National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding. It was found that a significant portion of NREF awardees went on to receive NIH funding, indicating the importance and effectiveness of NREF in supporting neurosurgeon-scientists.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the research capacity and culture of allied mental health clinicians and found that their research capacity and experiences seemed modest. Workplace settings, locations, and disciplines did not show significant impact on research-related activities as indicated by published RCC-based data.

Summary: The United States has the highest number and rate of incarceration in the world, but federal funding for research on the health impacts of incarceration is relatively low. There is a need to invest more resources into federally funded studies to investigate the effects of incarceration and develop intervention strategies.

Summary: Due to an aging population, musculoskeletal disease is becoming more burdensome both in terms of health and economy in the United States. In 2019, approximately 127.4 million people were affected by musculoskeletal conditions, which accounted for more than a third of the U.S. population. These conditions were the leading driver of healthcare spending in 2016, with an estimated annual cost of $380.9 billion. However, despite the significant and growing burden of musculoskeletal diseases, the research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) remains disproportionately allocated to other diseases. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the current burden of musculoskeletal disease and compare it to NIH funding trends.

Summary: In 2020, NIH allocated 2.0% of its budget (US$2.2 billion) for COVID-19 research among a total of 56,169 grants awarded. The most common areas of research funded were social determinants of health, immunology, and pharmaceutical interventions. The average time from funding opportunity announcement to award notice date was 151 days.

Summary: The study emphasizes the challenges in understanding rare diseases and the need to inspire scientists to propose innovative research to uncover the genetic and molecular causes of more rare diseases and identify effective therapeutic solutions. By mapping rare diseases to NIH-funded projects through a knowledge graph and semantic annotation, the study successfully accelerates scientific evidence generation and promotes rare disease research discovery.

Summary: Electronic prescribing (ePrescribing) is crucial for improving medication safety, quality of care, and efficient use of health resources. However, simply implementing an electronic health record does not guarantee the maximization of prescribing benefits. This study aims to provide policy recommendations based on the optimization of ePrescribing systems in digitally mature hospital sites, using qualitative interviews and case studies.
