Book excerpt: Research along its full spectrum is critical for developing new tools and strategies for better tuberculosis (TB) prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care and to provide scientific evidence for programmes, practitioners and policy-makers working to alleviate morbidity and mortality from TB. Under the leadership of WHO, a global strategy for TB research and innovation was developed and adopted by Member States in 2020 to advance research and innovation, by translating political commitments made in the Moscow Declaration to End TB (2017) and the political declaration at the United Nations high-level meeting on TB (2018) into concrete actions. The present document is a checklist that allows for a robust analysis of the current situation at country level, to build an evidence base for prioritizing the implementations of the recommendations made in the global strategy through changes in policies, programmes and interventions. It is designed as a reference for ministries of health and other entities responsible for overseeing the implementation of the global strategy.
