Abstract
DURSI, Carolina et al. Interministerial Policy for Research, Transfer and Strengthening of Health in the Territory, a Federal Experience. Rev. argent. salud pública [online]. 2023, vol.15, e115. Epub Dec 04, 2023. ISSN 1852-8724.
INTRODUCTION:
In March 2023, within the framework of the “Framework Agreement for Cooperation and Mutual Technical Assistance - MSAL/MINCYT”, the “Federal Interministerial Project of Research, Transfer and Strengthening for Health in the Territory” was created. The objective was to present an innovative work process between the Ministry of Health (MSAL) and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MINCYT), that lays the foundations for a management model of health research policies with a federal approach and aimed at enhancing the institutional functions and capacities of each sector.
METHODS:
The Project was coordinated by an Interministerial Committee. In 2023 there was a Call for the presentation of an annual project that consists of two components: A) Line of research and transfer; and B) Plan to strengthen the institutional capacities of the research areas of the jurisdictional health ministries grouped in REMINSA.
RESULTS:
The 24 jurisdictions presented their projects, and all of them were approved. The strategy strengthened the joint work mechanisms of two national ministries, that had to harmonize management patterns between health research areas and S&T representations at the jurisdictional level and between health decision-makers and the actors of the scientific system.
DISCUSSION:
This experience contributes to strengthening state capacities, while allowing to identify aspects that require continued work to reinforce new interministerial management patterns.
