The \;MOOC  \;is organised by the research team from the Universiti Malaya\, UNU-IIGH\ , and IHSCR known as the TDR Regional Training Centre for Implementation R esearch in the Western Pacific Region (RTC-WPR).\n\n\n\n \;Course obje ctives:The objective of the course is to build the capacity to identify th e challenges of various health settings\, assess the appropriateness of ex isting strategies\, and develop new interventions and strategies by workin g with communities and stakeholders.\n\n\n\nLearning outcomes:\n\n\n\nExpe rts guide participants through the core concepts of IR\, including modules that address how to:\n\n\n\nIdentify the challenges of various health set tings.\n\n\n\n\nAssess the appropriateness of existing disease control str ategies.\n\n\n\nDevelop new interventions and strategies by working with c ommunities and stakeholders.\n\n\n\nSpecify IR questions.\n\n\n\nDesign ri gorous research projects. This includes identifying IR outcomes\, evaluati ng effectiveness\, and planning to scale up implementation in real-life se ttings.\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of the course\, it is anticipated that you wil l be able to:\n\n\n\n\ndesign your own implementation research projects\;\ n\n\n\ncritically evaluate and use the evidence produced by other implemen tation research projects\;\n\n\n\ncommission robustly designed implementat ion research projects\,\n\n\n\n\nwith the ultimate goal of enhancing the e vidence base of practical ways to improve the health of the populations we serve.\n\n\n\nHow to register:Please register by 15th June 2023 to confir m your place.
