Living Rapid Research Needs Appraisal (RRNA) for Priority Diseases Protocol
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<ns5:p>Systematic reviews require time and resources to conduct that might not be available in a rapidly developing context such as during new and (re-) emerging infectious disease outbreaks. As part of the Pandemic-PACT program at the Pandemic Sciences Institute at the University of Oxford we have, in collaboration with Cochrane Response and Cochrane South Africa, developed a "living" Rapid Research Needs Appraisal (RRNA) methodology. The aim is to develop a protocol for rapidly and robustly identify key evidence gaps across pre-defined research domains to inform research prioritisation and coordination in preparedness time and during outbreaks. The RRNA utilises modified systematic review methods, a global relay of reviewers, and systematic review software. The objective is to strengthen capability for carrying out RRNAs, and establish a baseline evidence platform for priority infectious diseases that can be readily updated as new evidence emerges, utilising an adaptable "living" RRNA protocol. This data will be of relevance to funders, researchers, clinical and public health stakeholders involved in management of infectious diseases of epidemic and pandemic potential.</ns5:p>

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
