SUMMARY
EVIPNet Americas is a flagship Pan American Health (PAHO) initiative aimed at strengthening national health research
systems (NRHS) in line with PAHO’s Policy on Research for Health and the Strategy on Research for Health of the World Health
Organization—both official documents approved by the Governments, Ministers of Health. PAHO’s policy was approved
during the 49th Directing Council 2009 and WHO’s during the 63rd World Health Assembly, 2010 (WHO’s).1
On March 2011 an EVIPNet Americas a 5-day capacity building workshop was organized in Santiago, Chile by the Health
Policy & Systems Research Unit and the Center for Public Policies, of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUCC).2, 3 This
was done: in coordination with the EVIPNet Americas Secretariat, at the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and the
EVIPNet Secretariat at the World Health Organization (WHO);4 with technical support from the SUPPORT Collaboration;5 and
with financial support from the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research (AHPSR).6 Eight EVIPNet Americas teams with
representatives from 9 countries participated in the workshop.
The workshop allowed
advancing technical skills
and focused on enabling
participants to advance
the development of policy
briefs and to prepare
deliberative dialogues that
will be completed in 2011.
This report assesses the
short term outcomes of
this workshop and lays out
the expected follow up and
developments.

2ND EVIPNET-Americas Workshop:
EVIPNet Workshop Santiago de Chile 2011 - Policy Briefs & Deliberative Dialogues

BACKGROUND
The Evidence-Informed Policy Network (EVIPNet) is an innovative initiative that offers a systems approach towards
strengthening health systems and health research systems through the systematic integration of research evidence into
policies for health, especially at the national level, with the aim of improving health systems, equity and health. As a network,
it brings efficiencies including the sharing of resources and exchanges of ideas.
The initiative was the brainchild of the Subcommittee for the Use of Research Evidence of the World Health Organization’s
Advisory Committee on Health Research (ACHR). As a flagship knowledge translation initiative of WHO, EVIPNet establishes
partnerships between national level policy-makers, researchers, civil society, and regional knowledge translation experts;
it facilitates integrating research evidence and other forms of knowledge for policy development and implementation; it
offers a sound approach to PAHO/WHO’s technical cooperation; it makes good use of effective knowledge translation tools
integrating the best research evidence with other valuable information relevant to local context including local priorities and
interests of different stakeholders.7
The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) also serves as the Regional Office for the Americas of WHO (a.k.a. AMRO or PAHO/
WHO). In 2007 PAHO invited those countries that were requesting technical cooperation aimed at promoting a systematic
integration of research into policy and health care delivery, to participate in the EVIPNet initiative. The call was headed by
Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico (both the national government and a Mexico–USA border office), Puerto
Rico, and Trinidad and Tobago and teams from these countries (including the local PAHO Research Focal Point) participated in
the launch of EVIPNet Americas in July 2007 and expressed local commitment and support from their health authorities. The
meeting got participants acquainted with the goals of EVIPNet and helped them in identifying the skills that are needed in
functional EVIPNet teams able to prepare work proposals and implement knowledge translation tools.8 Typically these teams
were led by senior public health officers and included representatives from leading institutions in health policy development,
science & technology, academia, research for health, public health institutes and civil society.8
Since the 2007 launch the Secretariat of EVIPNet Americas has also received expressions of interest in joining the initiative by
representatives from Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras and Peru. The EVIPNet Americas teams are supported by a regional
network of experts from methodology and thematic fields (e.g. research methods, priority setting, policy development, health
systems research, epidemiology, biostatistics, health economy, grant application writing, etc.) such as experts affiliated to the
SUPPORT Collaboration. The EVIPNet Americas Secretariat has also facilitated the adaptation, publication and translation of key
reference materials making them available in open access platforms in relevant languages (i.e. English, Spanish, Portuguese
and French).9 Guidance to advance this process has been provided by the PAHO/WHO Advisory Committee on Health Research.10

EVIPNet Workshop Santiago de Chile 2011 - Policy Briefs & Deliberative Dialogues EVIPNet Workshop Santiago de Chile 2011 - Policy Briefs & Deliberative Dialogues
A consensus was reached by the EVIPNet Americas Secretariat, country teams, and PAHO’s Advisory Committee on Health Research,
to define specific skill sets needed for EVIPNet country teams to be effective. This allowed developing a skill building strategy based
on the identified needs, so that specific skills related to EVIPNet activities became available in each team and to allow having sufficient
trained team members to gain momentum and maintain a sustained development in the long run.11 In this way country teams would
reflect on their needs with regards to the skill sets and identify areas that needed further development; the EVIPNET Americas
Secretariat would seek means to allow for relevant capacity building activities to take place, working with strategic partners such as
the SUPPORT Collaboration,5 the Cochrane Collaboration (especially the Ibero-American and Canadian Cochrane Centres and
Networks),12 the Alliance for Health Policy & Systems Research (AHPSR),6 the McMaster Health Forum,13 the Canadian Coalition for
Global Health Research,14 and WHO Collaborating Centers,15 seeking efficiencies and promoting regional and sub-regional networks
and activities.
Following on the advice of PAHO’s ACHR,10 and in lines with the elements that were being considered in the development
of regional and global policies on research for health,16 the EVIPNet Americas Secretariat promoted a “train the trainers”
approach that was implemented with support from the McMaster Health Forum and the SUPPORT Collaboration. This was
done in parallel to the work being carried out with participating countries and allowed developing sustainable regional
capacities by establishing a cadre of experts, fluent in different and relevant languages needed to support the growth of
EVIPNet Americas, and its expansion throughout the Americas.
EVIPNet teams were eager to have tangible outputs, and because of this two innovative tools were soon to be implemented
with the teams: policy briefs and deliberative dialogues. Policy briefs represent an innovative, tested, and well-evaluated tool
adopted by EVIPNet teams around the globe.17 Policy briefs are concise documents that summarize the implications of different
policy options for a priority policy issue. Their development involves using evidence and information obtained through adequate
research methods to address policy options according to the nature of the various perspectives included under each option; each
option addresses questions that a policy maker would find relevant. A policy brief will typically single out the underlying problems,
the options to address the problem, key implementation considerations, and elements offering a system based approach suitable
for a policy maker.

WORKSHOP PREPARATIONS (2009-2010)
In October 2009 a workshop was held in Santiago, Chile, to work with EVIPNet Americas country teams in the initial phases of
the production and evaluation of policy briefs for specific policy options on topics chosen by participating EVIPNet Americas
teams from Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Chile, Mexico, Mexico–USA border, and Paraguay. This was a hands-on workshop
that allowed participants to acquire skills and advance the development of a policy brief. The EVIPNet’s network approach
allowed for building on the experience gained by EVIPNet teams in other Regions, engaging established regional experts and
institutions, and fostering effective networking.
In the follow-up to the 2009 workshop we witnessed variable progress between country teams. By March 2011 three EVIPNet
Americas teams had delivered proposals or briefs (Brazil,18 Costa Rica and Paraguay),a network of facilitators had been
established, and a growing number of countries in the Region had requested to the Secretariat either the participation in
EVIPNet Americas or technical cooperation to strengthen their national health research system and knowledge translation
capacities. Besides, two additional workshops had been held to support the production of specific policy briefs in Paraguay
(March 2010) and Trinidad & Tobago (June of 2010). Furthermore, some country teams manifested an interest in using their
policy briefs to inform a deliberative process similar to what was being tested in other jurisdictions to involve key stakeholders.
Calls were also being made for PAHO to offer an integrated approach that would allow addressing priority topics in an
integrated way in which technical areas were engaged in the EVIPNet Americas process. Although the Secretariat was quite
stretched out, the financial support provided by participating countries and strategic partners allowed to give continuity
to EVIPNet Americas and in 2010 a contribution from the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development
(AECID) allowed for the production of key reference materials, supporting some activities and the hiring of a short term
professional to enhance the coordination and technical support for EVIPNet Americas.
This allowed to support an application to conduct a 2nd workshop geared towards completing policy briefs under development,
to organise policy dialogues with selected country teams; and to expand EVIPNet Americas (or related activities) to other
countries.
WORKSHOP SANTIAGO DE CHILE (2011)
Objectives
The workshop addressed three objectives:
• To strengthen the skills and capacities of 5 EVIPNet Americas teams to produce (and evaluate) 5 policy briefs
• To support 2-3 EVIPNet Americas teams to convene and evaluate 2-3 national policy dialogues where the policy briefs can
be further discussed and brought into context.
• To develop a train-the-trainer strategy to build capacity in the Region for the production and evaluation of policy briefs
and the organization of policy dialogues.

EVIPNet Workshop Santiago de Chile 2011 - Policy Briefs & Deliberative Dialogues EVIPNet Workshop Santiago de Chile 2011 - Policy Briefs & Deliberative Dialogues
The Secretariat of EVIPNet Americas planned to also use this gathering as an opportunity to interview country teams and the
support group, learn from their experience and produce video clips illustrating their views about the EVIPNet tools, processes
and achievements.
Participants
The workshop was carried out in Santiago (Chile) and was led by Tomás Pantoja (Health Policy & Systems Research Unit,
Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile), a member of the SUPPORT Collaboration. The Health Policy & Systems Research Unit
at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile took care of the logistics for the meeting under the management of Dr. Tomás
Pantoja and with administrative support kindly provided by Mr. Patricio González. The EVIPNet Secretariat at PAHO provided
support in identifying participants and liaising with PAHO Country offices.
The group of expert facilitators for the workshop included teams from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (Blanca Peñaloza,
Javiera Corbalán, Mauricio Soto, Gabriel Rada, and Gabriel Bastias), PAHO/WHO EVIPNet Secretariat (Luis Gabriel Cuervo, Evelina
Chapman) the Centro Rosarino de Estudios Perinatales -CREP, Argentina (Edgardo Abalos), Florida International University (Juan
Manuel Lozano), and the Instituto de Investigaciones Epidemiológicas de la Academia Nacional de Medicina, Argentina (Marcelo
García-Diéguez). The workshop was attended by 25 participants from eight teams (see Annex 1): Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador,
Mexico-USA border, Paraguay, Peru, and Trinidad & Tobago.
The EVIPNet Secretariat assembled a communications team led by Eleana Villanueva (Research Promotion & Development)
with support from Andrea Aguila (PAHO/WHO Country office in Chile) and Harold Ruiz (Knowledge Management &
Communications, HQ). The team orchestrated a number of interviews with the participants following the knowledge transfer
process. The objective o this effort was to illustrate, in a simple and easy-to-grasp way, the process of how EVIPNet teams
implement Knowledge Transfer. The interviews are published in a series of videos, each highlighting an aspect of the process,
and can be accessed here.)
Methodological approach
The general approach to capacity building was “learning by doing”; during the workshop each country team worked in
the production of a draft policy brief, and some even advanced the planning of a policy dialogue. Following the workshop,
the draft policy briefs will be refined and virtual support and training activities will be carried out by the group of expert
facilitators and EVIPNet Secretariat. The finalized briefs will be presented to relevant policymakers by country teams.
In preparation of the workshop, a designated facilitator contacted each country team to discuss the objectives of the work,
and to advance pre-workshop tasks established for each team, such as the problem definition and selection of an initial set
of policy options to address the problem, as well as the information needs that would allow to better define and characterise
the problems and options.

Participants at the workshop addressed three types of questions that allow improvements in health systems using research
evidence:
• what is the problem?
• what policy and programmatic options are best suited to address the problem
• how can change be brought about?
Each step was followed by a discussion and then the putting into practice of specific skills to integrate research evidence (see
Agenda in Annex 2) into the brief. To better achieve the objectives, the workshop was divided in two sections:
1. Completing a policy brief on the topics picked by country teams (days 1 to 3). The issues addressed by the participant
teams were:
• Bolivia: To improve population access to health servicesBrazil: reducing maternal mortality
• Brazil: Reducing maternal mortality
• Chile: Improving access to medicines
• Ecuador: Reducing rural maternal mortality rates in Ecuador
• Mexico-US border: An integrated approach to reduce obesity rates and related health consequences
• Paraguay: Primary care focused approaches to address non-communicable diseases
• Peru: Insufficient adherence to tuberculosis treatment
• Trinidad & Tobago: developing an integrated service approach to children victims of sexual violence
and abuse
2. Preparing a policy dialogue where the policy brief would be used to inform key stakeholders, further discussed and
enriched within the relevant context (day 4).
A series of brief plenary sessions were done on each topic and these were followed by work carried out by country teams. This
allowed for participants to grapple with the questions and issues relevant to the topics they were addressing, while being supported
by the seasoned expert facilitator(s) appointed to each country team. Throughout the week two experts from the resource team also
carried out evidence searches to assist the development of the policy briefs.
In preparation for the workshop and to facilitate a collaborative space for discussion –during and after the workshop – a web platform
was developed (http://evipnet.ning.com/). This platform allowed sharing and organizing of resources (e.g. SUPPORT and SURE
tools), networking, and promoting a sense of ownership and a comradely exchange within and between teams.

The facilitators also held daily follow up meetings to share experiences, address issues in a consistent manner, and identify options
to address challenges towards the completion of the products, as they were identified. The lead facilitator (Tomás Pantoja) and
Secretary (Luis Gabriel Cuervo) clarified issues as required, building on their experience and knowledge of the global network.
Participants were also presented with a range of resources developed to aid their work. This included:
• The EVIPNet Americas portal, where all resources below would be linked (http://www.paho.org/researchportal)
• A “wiki” tool, to develop their documents in a collaborative fashion.19
• the Evidence Portal – a one stop shop where they can find key evidence sources and databases relevant to EVIPNet, and
to operational, implementation and health systems research.20 They were also presented the specialized database for
health systems research by McMaster Health Forum (Health Systems Evidence database) that will be linked to the EVIPNet
websites and efforts will be made to integrate it to the Evidence Portal.21
• A virtual closed platform for the EVIPNet Americas teams to interact.22
• The Global EVIPNet webpage with resources and outputs produced by other EVIPNet branches, and a link to the EVIPNet
global portal.23
Evaluation
The workshop was evaluated as useful and well organised by the participants. Regarding its objectives most of the participants
deemed that they were mostly achieved. A summary of the evaluations is presented in Annex 3.
Satellite seminar
Taking advantage of the presence of country teams and
facilitators the HPSR Unit and the Centre for Public Policies
of the PUCC organised a short seminar on Thursday morning
entitled “The use of evidence on informing health public
policies”. Two of the workshop’s facilitators (Tomás Pantoja
and Luis Gabriel Cuervo) presented the challenges and
initiatives being currently implemented to link research to
policy and two commentators from the Ministries of Health
and Finance analysed the way in which those initiatives could
be implemented in the context of the Chilean public sector.
The event was attended by about 80 people from academic and policymaking organisations and allowed a vivid interchange
of views and proposals.24, 25

FOLLOW UP
PAHO has provided a virtual room (http://new.paho.org/EVIPNet) that allows for follow-up video conferences with each
country team; it is estimated that each team will require two follow up sessions, and these will be scheduled through the
Secretariat.
Facilitators of each group will support the development of the specific products (policy brief and/or deliberative dialogue) as
agreed with each country team. A virtual conference will be carried out amongst the group of facilitators to discuss the issues
raised by each country teams (date to be agreed). Technical support and coordination for this process will be provided in the
Secretariat by Evelina Chapman.
Ms. Eleana Villanueva followed up on the production and publication of the videos and interviews carried out during the
workshop. She arranged, in coordination with the EVIPNet Americas Secretariat, for the inclusion of relevant links into the
EVIPNet Americas webpage, and in PAHO’s YouTube Channel playlists for Research Promotion and for EVIPNet. 26, 27
Technical support to the teams will be coordinated with the Secretariat, including support provided by PAHO’s Latin American
& Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information - BIREME. The Regional website (http://www.paho.org/researchportal/
EVIPNet) will offer links to each web tool and will be linked to www.paho.org/researchportal. Cross links will be established
between sites and www.paho.org/researchportal/EVIPNet will be the site where country teams can find links to all relevant
websites and tools.
Participating teams will advocate for the inclusion and linking of their work plans to the PAHO 2012-2013 biennial plan of
work seeking to allocate resources to support and complement the support from the Secretariat for their activities.
DELIVERABLES
The deliberations during the workshop resulted in participants agreeing on a policy brief template developed around the template
used by McMaster Health Forum in Canada (Annex 4A & 4B). This template will be used by most of the teams in writing their policy
briefs.
There was an initial commitment from 3 teams to organise a policy dialogue around the policy issue addressed by their brief; a
progress report and confirmation will be made by these teams by the end of March. Teams will aim to deliver policy briefs in June;
those organising dialogues will report their results in September 2011.

Most teams agreed to use the monitoring & evaluation framework proposed by the McMaster team, but they will confirm their
engagement in this work by the end of March. It was highlighted that EVIPNet offers a systems approach and that the complex
evaluations need to be supplemented with shorter and simpler evaluations to capture the changes in capacities, products and
deliverables, and the effects in different components of a health system.
Videos and interviews were uploaded to the EVIPNet Americas webpage after the event, and shared with relevant counterparts
including the AHPSR and EVIPNet Secretariat.28, 29
We want to express our acknowledgement to the sponsors and funding agencies supporting this event for recognizing the importance
of this capacity building, and the contributions and potential of EVIPNet as a catalyst for the development of functional health
research systems. And a special mention to the AHPSR that supported financially the workshop.
Participating countries are expected to show commitment increasingly supporting their EVIPNet Activities. The Secretariat will
continue working with key partners to support and further develop the network and relevant resources, raise awareness and engage
global and regional partners.
