The Quality of Research for Development (QoR4D) framework

13 October 2022. The Quality of Research for Developmen

The Quality of Research for Development (QoR4D) framework facilitates CGIAR System-wide agreement on what constitutes “quality” for problem-oriented research designed to have impact. Experience demonstrated that R4D criteria should extend beyond conventional research output or impact metrics (e.g., peer-reviewed publications and their citations) and should include relevance, scientific credibility, legitimacy (which includes local acceptance), and effectiveness. QoR4D was co-designed using a consultative process and involving representatives from entities across CGIAR leading or assessing research quality.

The virtual Side Event “QoR4D to Strengthen Institutional Innovation” was held at the FAO Science and Innovation Forum 2022 and explored how QoR4D can strengthen different levels of institutional innovations as it supports good governance in CGIAR and AR4D organizations.
