Consensus Statement

EViR is an international community of research funders, those who represent research funders and those who set research funding policy. EViR creates a space for sharing practice and facilitating learning in order to innovate, change practice and bring improved health and wellbeing to all.

In order to implement our mission, we commit to working together and with our respective communities to maximise the value of the research we fund through the adoption and implementation of the Guiding Principles.

We recognise that we are part of a wider ecosystem including funders, those who benefit from or use research, regulators, commercial organisations, publishers, editors, researchers, research organisations, and others.

Along with other relevant activity in the wider research landscape (e.g., the REWARD statement), we understand that, as funders, we will maximise the value of the research we fund when:

We set justifiable research priorities
We require robust research design, conduct and analysis
We seek to ensure that research regulation and management are proportionate to risks
We seek to ensure that complete information on research methods and findings from studies is accessible and usable
Increasing value will require collaborative efforts among funders, regulators, commercial organisations, publishers, editors, researchers, research organisations, research users and others.

Our Guiding Principles help health-related research funders increase the value of their research
