09.02.2021 Russian-Norwegian Project "Operational Research" Is Granted Support
Public health programs in many countries around the world are “data rich, but poor in the amount of information extracted from that data,” which implies that much data is generated at the country level, and the potential for using this data to improve public health is rarely fully realized. The Structured Operations Research and Training (SORT IT) initiative seeks to make countries “data-rich, information-rich and intervention-rich,” thereby contributing to improved health care delivery and outcomes. SORT IT is a global partnership coordinated by the Tropical Diseases Research and Education Special Program and implemented in conjunction with partners. SORT IT supports countries and institutions in: conducting operational research according to their own priorities; building sustainable operational research capacity; and making informed decisions to improve the effectiveness of the program. Participants develop a research project, draw up a protocol, collect and analyze data, write articles and submit them for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
