Research Tools Resources designed to help you.

Toolkits

Toolkits are an incredibly useful resource, supporting step-wise guidance and offering the ‘how to’ approach

We have been working in partnership with global collaborators and networks to develop meaningful and targeted toolkits, that researchers can use openly and freely. They offer flexible and adaptable resources that can be used to target and strengthen a particular aspect of the research process, as teams plan and conduct locally relevant trials and studies in their own settings. Toolkits can also provide an opportunity to implement a capacity-building initiative for researcher communities across a multitude of settings, giving key guidance and steps to successfully running such an initiative in a local setting.

Developing research capacity

These Toolkits advise and inform the key steps to successfully implementing a capacity-building initiative for research communities across a multitude of settings:

Setting up a Research Club »

What it is, why it is important and how to set up one in your setting.

Running a Workshop Proposal Call »

How to design and implement a call to generate a robust community of practice for better health research in low-resource settings.

Establish a Research Support Room in your institution »

How to offer support to anyone who wants to design and develop a health research project in your establishment.

Development of massive open online courses (MOOCs) »

How to create MOOCs to support understanding of public health interventions and uncertainties during disease outbreaks.

Research Proposal Writing »
