Call for papers: Informing the Establishment of the WHO Global Observatory on Health Research and Development
Submissions by 8 March 2015
WHO has announced a new Call for Papers for a peer-reviewed Journal Series on “Informing the Establishment of the WHO Global Observatory on Health Research and Development”. This Call is launched in association with the WHO Global Observatory on Health Research and Development (R&D) called for by WHO’s Member States in the 2013 WHA Resolution 66.22, as part of a strategic work plan to promote innovation, build capacity, improve access and mobilise resources to address diseases that disproportionately affect the world’s poorest countries. With this collection of papers, WHO aims to provide global stakeholders with up-to-date knowledge on methods, strategies, tools, experiences and applications to draw from when developing future investment decisions and implementation plans for new R&D. More importantly, the aim is to push the frontier for knowledge and innovation in this field by inviting new thinking, approaches, analysis and information and welcome a wide range of perspectives and disciplines relevant to understanding the availability of and funding for health R&D. Papers will be published during the course of 2015/16 in Health Research Policy and Systems.

Call for papers: International assistance and cooperation
Deadline: 15 August 2009
Health and Human Rights, an international journal, invites manuscript submissions for its next theme issue on international assistance and cooperation. The ability of poor countries to realize the right to health must be understood within the context of the global political economy. Donor countries assume human rights obligations both directly and as members of international organisations, such as the World Bank, IMF and regional development banks. UN and international agencies, as well as transnational corporations under certain circumstances, may also have human rights obligations relating to health. This issue will critically explore how these international obligations are being defined and discharged, and how to make stakeholders accountable for their human rights obligations.
