Prioritization and Resource Allocation in Academic Global Health Partnerships.

Objective: US-based academic institutions involved in global health (GH) partnerships can have a positive impact on health care systems in low/middle-income countries but lack a consistent approach. Existing priority setting and resource allocation (PSRA) frameworks do not adequately capture the interpersonal and sociopolitical complexity of decision-making in GH work. The authors explored how US-based GH practitioners prioritize and allocate resources for different types of support in academic GH partnerships.
