This three-year project is led by the Institute for Global Public Health (IGPH) at the University of Manitoba (UM), in partnership with the Health Services Academy (HSA) and CGPH-Pakistan. RMNCH clinicians and public health providers will be trained on the principles of program science, research methods, program monitoring and evaluation, fundamental statistical analysis, and knowledge translation. Workshops will be conducted which will focus on research methods and statistical analysis and their application in program science. Participants will be assessed based on a formative assessment conducted during ongoing workshop activities. Participants in groups will identify RMNCH program challenge, define a research topic, and implement the research project using existing clinical or program data and secondary analysis. In last year of the project workshops will be held which focus on use of data for decision making and knowledge translation to ensure that knowledge generated is taken up to improve RMNCH clinical care and program implementation and ultimately, optimize population-level outcomes.

The key results of the project were (1) Built and trained a resource group of midlevel professionals (2) Established a scientific forum consisting of Public health experts, NGO representatives, academicians, researchers and program staff
