Abstract
There is an urgent need for research to assist with targeting strategies and reducing health care inequalities. This is critical in rural areas, where communities require an evidence base that informs their unique health systems context, including optimal ways to address significant population and workforce needs. However, as a field, rural health research has never had a comprehensive strategy for its growth and sustainability. This is despite the reliance of many rural stakeholders and communities on high-quality evidence that can be directly applied to improve rural health policies/programs and outcomes. For example, the World Health Organization, seeking to serve nearly half the world's population that lives rurally, also has no specific strategy for fostering a rural research industry. This is despite explicitly valuing monitoring and evaluation as part of most of its rural health strategies.
