Description/achievement of initiative
Global Alliance to Prevent Prematurity and Stillbirth commits to develop and uphold a Code of Conduct that puts forth standards of excellence for all repositories to be upheld in partnership with countries where repositories are being established; collaborate with its Research Harmonization Committee to developing repositories in consideration of efforts to enhance national capacity of the country’s healthcare and research sectors; work collaboratively with the local community to develop innovative approaches to engagement in research; evaluate the effectiveness of upholding the Code of Conduct and identify areas for further enhancement of operations in each country on an annual basis. Engage cross-sectors (nutrition, water, sanitation) in such efforts with the resolve of conducting the most comprehensive research to achieve improved birth outcomes. Share best practices in research at a conference in 2012 for all organizations and publish a case statement outlining the critical need for strategic investments in pregnancy and post-birth scientific research where large health gains can be achieved through the development of new, low-cost, high-impact innovations and develop a global advocacy campaign to catalyze funding to promote the utilization of new science, technology and tools to advance research and development on pregnancy and early life.
