Research Database Review And Improvement Plan Consultancy
Organization: Médecins Sans Frontières
Closing date: 8 Dec 2025
Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is an independent and international medical humanitarian organisation delivering emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters, and exclusion from healthcare.
The MSF Research Management and Impact Tool (REMIT) was developed in 2016 to track MSF research studies and support efforts to measure the impact of MSF research. It also serves as a central repository for all documentation and information related to these studies. Since its launch, REMIT has been updated regularly in response to user feedback and evolving needs.
However, several challenges have emerged:
Researcher compliance with updating records remains relatively low (around 55% this year).
Reporting is cumbersome, with even basic summaries requiring manual manipulation of large Excel files.
Integration with other MSF systems is limited. There may be opportunities to align REMIT more closely with other internal databases or incorporate useful functionalities from those systems to improve efficiency and user experience.
It is unclear whether REMIT is the most suitable tool for tracking research impact in its current form.
Objective
To conduct a comprehensive assessment of the REMIT platform with the dual aim of identifying current limitations and providing actionable recommendations for its future development or replacement.
A two-stage assessment of the REMIT platform is required to:
1. Identify Current Limitations and Gaps
Evaluate whether REMIT is fit for purpose in tracking research studies and measuring impact.
