4. Use of Google Forms & Enketo Kobo Tool in Data Collection – In this digital age, the ability to collect data efficiently is paramount, and this course introduces students to modern data collection tools used in various research contexts.

5. Research Methods

6. Research Tools & Software In Biostatistics.

The combination of these courses ensures that candidates complete with a solid foundation in research methods and are prepared to tackle complex research projects.

Mentorship and Capacity Building

One of the key differentiating factors at FISORI is its strong emphasis on mentorship.

Recognizing the importance of practical guidance in research development, the Research Institute pairs each candidate with experienced researchers and mentors who guide them through the research process.

This personalized approach ensures that candidates not only gain knowledge but also apply it in real-world contexts, receiving feedback and advice tailored to their individual research interests.

The mentorship program also plays a significant role in building the capacity of candidates to publish their work.

FISORI recognizes that the process of writing, revising, and publishing research articles can be daunting for new researchers.

To this end, the Research Institute provides comprehensive support, from writing workshops to peer review assistance.

Many of the institution's candidates have successfully published their work on the Research Institute's collaborators website, thereby gaining exposure and contributing to the academic community.

Research and Implementation Focus

FISORI’s unique approach to research goes beyond academic exercises—it focuses on the implementation of research findings to solve real-world problems.

Candidates are encouraged to think about how their research can be applied in practical settings, particularly in addressing global challenges such as health crises, poverty, climate change, and education.

The Research Institute actively supports projects that have direct impacts on communities, particularly in low-resource settings. For example, FISORI has been involved in projects that seek to improve healthcare delivery, enhance educational outcomes, and promote environmental sustainability.

By instilling a research-for-implementation mindset in its candidates, the Research Institute ensures that its candidates not only generate knowledge but also contribute to the advancement of society.

Publication and Open Science Initiatives

FISORI is committed to advancing the open science movement, where research outputs are freely accessible to all. In line with this, the Research Institute has taken deliberate steps to encourage open access publishing among its candidates.

The institution has an active online platform where candidates publish their research findings, ensuring that their work reaches a broad audience and contributes to the global knowledge pool.

To further promote open science practices, FISORI has partnered with various stakeholders in the academic publishing space.

These partnerships enable candidates to access advanced tools for managing research data, creating metadata, and ensuring proper attribution through Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs).

By fostering a culture of transparency and collaboration, FISORI is positioning itself as a leader in open research practices.

Collaborations and Partnerships

FISORI recognizes that collaboration is key to advancing research and expanding its impact. The Research Institute actively seeks partnerships with academic institutions, NGOs, governmental bodies, and international organizations.

Through these collaborations, FISORI provides its candidates with access to a broader network of resources and opportunities.

One such collaboration is with True-Talk where FISORI supports a project on sustaining article writing. This partnership involves training young writers, write well-referenced articles.

FISORI is also engaged in global conversations around research and innovation.

Through its affiliations with various international bodies, the Research Institute ensures that its candidates are part of the larger global academic community, contributing to and benefiting from the shared knowledge and experiences of researchers worldwide.
