### Summary box Over the past decades, enormous efforts have gone into improving access to quality health services in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) through the activities of international non-governmental organisations (INGOs).1 However, for most of these INGO-implemented interventions, responding to health research needs of these populations is not a priority, with a few exceptions.2 In instances where research is of interest, the capacities to generate valid evidence are limited.3 This is compounded by the limited number of academic research institutions with the capacity to conduct the required research in many LMICs despite the urgent need for locally led research efforts.3 4 Although there has been an expansion in INGO-led implementation science programmes recently in many LMICs, they are mainly motivated by the need to bridging the ‘know-do-gaps’, rather than providing answers to emerging health research questions based on implementation research principles.5 Without rigorous research methods, concepts and methods of current implementation science programmes in both high-income countries (HIC) and LMICs cannot …

低收入和中等收入国家国际非政府组织项目的研究：机遇中的挑战

### 摘要框 在过去的几十年里，通过国际非政府组织 (INGO) 的活动，为改善低收入和中等收入国家 (LMIC) 获得优质卫生服务的机会付出了巨大努力。1 然而，对于大多数这些 INGO 实施的干预措施，响应这些人群的健康研究需求不是优先事项，但有一些例外。2 在研究感兴趣的情况下，产生有效证据的能力是有限的。 3 这又因数量有限而雪上加霜尽管迫切需要当地主导的研究工作，但仍有能力在许多中低收入国家开展所需研究的学术研究机构。 3 4 尽管最近在许多中低收入国家出现了由 INGO 主导的实施科学计划的扩展，他们的主要动机是需要弥合“知行差距”，而不是根据实施研究原则为新兴的健康研究问题提供答案。 5 没有严格的研究方法、当前实施科学计划的概念和方法。 -收入国家（HIC）和中低收入国家不能……
