The Research Fairness Initiative (RFI) aims to to set an International Standard for Research Partnerships. It was a concept developed by Council of Health Research & Development (COHRED, established in 1993) after the realization that there were no standard or benchmark describing best practice in research collaborations, especially regarding international collaboration for research and innovation. It encourages all research organisation to describe how they take measures to ensure their partnerships create value by being fair, transparent, trusting and effective. Later a subscription based institutional tool was implemented in 2018 after three years of consultation with all the major players in research and science - in all areas and trials mostly in Africa. The tool asks organisations about their existing research partnership practices/policy in three dimensions - fairness of opportunity, fair process and fair sharing of cost, benefits & outcomes and how they intend to improve over the next two years based on the international guidelines. The report generated is verified and certified by the RFI team. The organisation can publish and share the reports among external stakeholders.
