Global Health Research Methods Workshop

A two-day intensive workshop that provides a basic overview and introduction to developing research skills applicable to global health.

Worskhop Overview

The workshop aims to provide a basic overview and roadmap to help people interested in conducting global health research develop their study question into a concept note that can form the basis for a study proposal. Fundable global health research proposals require a scientifically sound approach to answer a high-value question within a competitive budget envelope. The workshop focuses on essential skills to develop a competitive proposal and budget, including how to approach global health research opportunities, how to engage with collaborators, consideration of sample size, and analytical approach.
