Scope of the Research Prioritisation Exercise: Global Hygiene and Climate Health Agenda

Jessica Gerard published a dataset on figshare on 2026-05-11 detailing a global research prioritization exercise for hygiene and climate health. The data includes 57 scored research questions generated through a structured CHNRI method involving a scoping review and key informant interviews. A multilingual survey was completed by 141 respondents from 40 countries representing academic, non-governmental, multilateral, and government sectors.

Use Cases

• Identify high-impact research questions based on stakeholder scoring against criteria like relevancy and answerability.
• Analyze the distribution of research priorities across the '4Ds' framework (description, delivery, development, discovery).
• Examine equity considerations in climate-health research, particularly for people with disabilities, women, and girls.
• Guide funding allocation and policy development for climate-driven hygiene challenges.

Strengths

• Data is based on a structured, consensus-driven process involving global experts.
• Includes input from 141 respondents across 40 countries and multiple sectors.
• Research questions are classified using a clear framework (the '4Ds') and scored against four weighted criteria.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
