Sharing research data on public health issues can promote expanded scientific inquiry and has the potential to advance improvements in public health. Although sharing data is the norm in some research fields, sharing of data in public health is not as firmly established. In March 2015, the National Research Council organized an international conference in Stellenbosch, South Africa, to explore the benefits of and barriers to sharing research data within the African context. The workshop brought together public health researchers and epidemiologists primarily from the African continent, along with selected international experts, to talk about the benefits and challenges of sharing data to improve public health, and to discuss potential actions to guide future work related to public health research data sharing. Sharing Research Data to Improve Public Health in Africa summarizes the presentations and discussions from this workshop.

This Annual Report represents activities of the South African Medical Research Council from 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011. The reporting for this annual report (2010-2011) has been extremely eventful on personal, governance and research fronts. From the small beginnings in 1969, the MRC has grown into the foremost health research institution in Africa. This is based on the excellence of the MRC's research and the reach that it has nationally and internationally. MRC researchers (10 in all) representing six of the units, played a major role in the seminal publication, The Lancet Series on Health in South Africa (Volume 374, Issue 9692, 5 September 2009). The contributing researchers highlighted the many challenges facing the health and health research communities in South Africa, as well as proposing solutions and priorities for a way forward. The MRC and its researchers are committed to playing a meaningful role in addressing these challenges. The series serves as a base for the National Department of Health's plans to address the burden of disease and ill-health facing the country.
