SORT IT – Structured Operational Research and Training IniTiative

Welcome to the Structured Operational Research and Training IniTiative’s three modular course video resources. Our goal in offering these resources, consisting of 48 videos, is to disseminate the SORT IT model online, so that individuals and institutions interested in building their operational research capacity may use and adopt these materials for  improving health policies, practices and outcomes.
 
These training materials cover the three modules of the SORT IT course through short video lectures and they address interrelated but diverse subjects, such as:
• What, why and how of operational research
• Developing an operational research protocol
• Using EpiData for data collection and analysis
• Using Mendeley, a free software for citing references
• Principles of writing a scientific paper and getting past the editor
• From research to policy and practice
