On December 2, 2019, the National Public Health Research Agenda was released at the Argentina Ministry of Health. The establishment of priorities in a National Agenda for Research in Public Health is the result of a systematic, participatory and reflective process, which allows to guide the research towards relevant, prevalent and emerging problems of the population, orient resources towards priority topics, strengthen and create groups, centers and research networks for public health, improve capacities for the development of quality research and increase local evidence for decision-making in order to improve the health of the population and health systems within the framework of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The Delphi Method modified by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) was chosen as the methodology for preparing the Agenda. The Department of Health Research (DIS) of the National Ministry of Health participated in the development of this tool through the Ministerial Network for Health Research (REMINSA) and the PAHO. Throughout the whole elaboration process it was essential to achieve a broad participation of actors from the provincial and national levels, both from public and private sectors. The National Public Health Research Agenda will allow to generate national and regional scientific research, and to implement policies and recommendations that impact the health of populations.

Keywords : Argentina; Health Research Agenda; Health Priority Agenda.
