• Establishing principles of best practice– e.g. KFPE : 11 principles, 7 questions
• Creating practical tools– e.g. Fair Research Contracting (FRC)
• Actively managed certification system– e.g. the COHRED Fairness Index
• Generating legal obligation– e.g. the Nagoya Protocol

• The appropriate and practical role NIH might play in advancing the CFI is to address human capital and institutional gaps: strengthening the capacity of LMIC institutions to negotiate fair contracts and preserve their interests, perhaps through a creative twinning mechanism that links US offices of sponsored research/tech transfer with LMIC institutions as an adjunct to collaborative protocols - exchanges, model agreements, workshops, etc.
