Method The current study applied e-Delphi technique via online self-administered questionnaire was distributing to headquarter, and 16 health affairs directorates spanning 75 hospitals and specialized health centers, 24 primary health-care centers, 2 health-care clusters, and 5 medical cities. In addition, community involvement was represented by 26 organizations: 7 universities, 9 scientific health associations, 5 charitable associations, and 5 key Saudi health partner organizations. Research field’s prioritization was performed by ranking weighed mean aggregate score via application of the combined consensus and metrics-based approach. Then the top five research topics were analyzed, verified, refined and classified into specific health research themes. Results The study included 2252 participants and attained a 90% response rate. The study deliverables were listed into two research priority domains: health system research priorities (1st agenda) and diseases and health problems priorities (2nd agenda). Overall, the types of the top five research priorities in the first agenda included service delivery (40.9%), health workforce (14.4%), governance and leadership (13.0%) ,preparedness and response to disasters and emergency (10.2%), health information systems (9.3%), access to essential medicines products and vaccines (6.97%), and financing (5.1%). On the other hand, the top five research priority areas in the second agenda were non-communicable diseases (16.9%), child and neonatal health (15.9%), medications (13.6%), women health (10.4%), dental health (10.4%). furthermore, biomedical and radiology technology and devices (5.6%), communicable diseases (3.7%), nutrition (3.2%), trauma and general management (3.2%), innovative approaches (2.4%), emergency management (2.7%), physical therapy and rehabilitation (2.3%), public health (2.3%), holistic approaches to health and wellness, behavior and lifestyle (1.5%), environmental health (0.6%),pilgrims’ health (0.6%), geriatric health (0.3%), and family medicine (0.3%). Conclusion Adequate description of the stakeholders and methodology can strengthen legitimacy and credibility and maximize the impact of the priority-setting process. Involvement of policymakers, researchers and funding organizations increases the opportunity of translation into actual research, supports redesigning the research landscape and ensures uptake of results and integration.

“…Healthy collaboration built upon shared goals, interests and enthusiasm, provides added value to the process and ensures a higher potential to achieve a project's goals. (73) There is a clear need to adopt a "collaborative research agenda" as complex health problems should be addressed in a comprehensive way. The confronted complexity requires input from multiple expert areas, pooling scienti c, technological, human capital resources and the associated data.…”

BackgroundThe Saudi Vision 2030 project recognized the integral role of health research in transforming, modernizing and governing the healthcare system, as well as improving health. The nature of health research prioritization is context-specific, and there is an obligation to effectively allocate resources to initiatives that will achieve the greatest impact, which is discussed in this paper.MethodsThe best practice for health research prioritization depends on the existing needs and context. The e-Delphi technique was conducted via an online self-administered questionnaire that covered health research topics, topics related to Vision 2030, as well as collaborative research. Criteria used for scoring the selected topics were: appropriateness, relevance, feasibility, urgency, collaboration and impact of research outcome. Research domains were prioritized by ranking the weighted mean aggregate score and all topics of the top five ranked domains, along with the aggregate scores of the answers of those in leadership positions were pooled together, validated, verified, summarized, refined and then classified into themes. ResultsThe participants included those from a full range of health specialties and subspecialties (46.5% physicians, 39% health specialists, 10% pharmacists and 3.6% dentists), and the study achieved balanced regional participation and covered a wide spectrum of qualification and professional levels. In total there were 2252 participants and 98% belonged to MoH. Of those from the MoH, 134 were leaders (85 Headquarters policy makers and 49 regional decision makers), while the rest were made up from individuals from 16 Health Affairs Directorates spanning 75 hospitals and specialized health centers, 24 primary health care centers , 2 healthcare clusters, in addition to five medical cities. Community involvement was represented by 26 organizations. Approximately half of stakeholders contributed to scientific research, while 24% had previous publications, and only 6% had a direct influence in health policymaking. The study deliverables were listed into three agendas:1. Health System Research Priority Themes: Service Delivery, Workforce, Information Systems, Access to Essential Medicines, Financing, Governance & Leadership and Disaster Response. 2. Diseases and Health Problems Themes: Non-Communicable and Communicable Diseases, Trauma, Public Health, Dental Health, Environmental Health, Pilgrims’ Health, Women’s Health, Child & Geriatric Health, Biomedical Technology, Radiology and Physical Technology.3. National and International Collaborative Research Themes: Major research areas impacted by COVID-19, Public Health, ‎ Healthcare Access, Medical Care & Universal Health Coverage, Value-based Healthcare, Health System Financing and Economics, Health Information and Communication Technology, Health System Governance, Health Workforce Development and Health System Preparedness and Response to Emergency.Conclusion Adequate description of the stakeholders and the methodology can strengthen legitimacy, credibility and maximize the impact of the priority setting process. Involvement of policymakers, researchers and funding organizations increases the opportunity of translation into actual research, supports redesigning the research landscape and ensures uptake of results and integration.
