17. www.cohred.org Research & Innovation Partnerships Partnerships are key to growth of research and innovation

18. www.cohred.org COHRED Fairness Index - CFI an actively managed certification system to optimize the ability to engage in and sustain fair research and innovation partnerships

19. www.cohred.org Creating the CFI - rationale Raising Awareness – e.g. Costello & Zumla (2000) Establishing principles of best practice – e.g. KFPE : 11 principles, 7 questions Creating practical tools – e.g. Fair Research Contracting (FRC) Actively managed certification system – e.g. the COHRED Fairness Index Generating legal obligation – e.g. the Nagoya Protocol

20. www.cohred.org CFI – what can it measure ? 1)Assess conditions essential to fairness in research and innovation – rather than partnerships themselves 2)Assess partnerships directly – given the complexity of doing so means this is not for the early phase of the CFI

21. www.cohred.org CFI – what is the ‘unit of application’ ? 1)Project / Program 2)Institution 3)Country 4)Partnerships Measuring conditions essential to fairness in partnerships Measuring partnerships directly

22. www.cohred.org CFI – what does it measure (2) ? DOMAINS / Objectives – are likely to be the same across the 4 levels INDICATORS – are likely to vary for each level

23. www.cohred.org COHRED Fairness Index

24. www.cohred.org CFI – example of Indicators at 4 Levels If the DOMAIN is ‘proper financial management’ – then Projects/Program: – Co-PI’s have full transparency and decision power, from the beginning Institution: – There is a competent research administrator or accredited outsourced auditor Country: – Enforceable Policy requiring that research is contracted institutionally, and that institution use accredited auditors Partnership: – Joint financial audit, conflict resolution mechanism that is ‘neutral’, reasonable F&A sharing; IP sharing

25. www.cohred.org CFI – who would benefit ? In the DOMAIN of ‘proper financial management’ Research institutions : Research sponsors : Business : Researchers : National development : Global health research :
