The Road Traffic Injuries Research Network (RTIRN) is a partnership of individuals and institutions – government, academic, and nongovernmental – that collaborate to further research on the impact, causes and strategies for the prevention of RTI in low- and middle- income countries. Collaborating partners have been meeting to exchange ideas and develop a research agenda on RTI and to develop capacity for RTI research in low and middle-income countries. The development of a research agenda includes defining research priorities; promoting appropriate investments for research; conducting strategic research; and facilitating the utilization of research results for national policies on RTI.
