This paper promotes reflexive consideration of health research practices using a decolonisation lens. We propose both incremental and more radical action in five domains: knowledge production, funding and programmes, dissemination, uptake, and education and training. We suggest four steps towards transformation and share a reflexive tool to operationalise these steps.
