Abstract
This project will offer two seminars on applied research in the health field to teachers at the Faculty of Science of the National University of Benin, in Cotonou. The 50 participants have already attended a series of seminars on the same subject supported by IDRC (3-A-87-2059). These two additional exercises will consolidate basic knowledge. Specific subjects to be addressed are: research methods in epidemiology; general indicators for a data set of descriptive statistics; identification of high risk groups along with the calculation of relative risk; and planning and validation of research instruments. Questions pertaining to data management, computer science, and the application of research results will also be discussed. Furthermore, the seminar will help participants to efectively edit a research report; formulate high quality research proposals for submission to financing agencies; and manage well-structured research projects.
