Assessment of Research Capacity

At the Centre for Health Research and Training (CHaRT-SL), one of our key training activities is the Assessment of Research Capacity of Institutions, designed to help organisations identify and enhance their ability to conduct high-quality research. This training equips participants with the tools and methodologies needed to evaluate the research infrastructure, human resources, and technical capacity within their institutions.

The programme covers various aspects of research capacity assessment, including:

Institutional Evaluation

Participants learn how to assess an institution’s research environment, including the availability of funding, infrastructure, and collaborative opportunities that influence the quality and sustainability of research.
