This policy aims to ensure that PAHO remains true to being a knowledge-based organization, that strong and sustainable national health research systems are found in every country in the Americas, and that research evidence constitutes a cornerstone of all activities aimed at attaining the highest level of health and equity.

The achievement of these aims will require that the Secretariat, Member States, and partners work together to harness science, technology, and broader knowledge in order to produce research based evidence and tools and foster innovation for the improvement of equity, health, and development.
