Background: TDR, The Special Programme for Research and Training hosted at the
World Health Organization, has long supported Low- and Middle-Income Countries in
strengthening research capacity through three training programmes: the
Postgraduate Training Scheme (PGTS), the Clinical Research and Development
Fellowship (CRDF), and the Structured Operational Research Training InitiaTive
(SORT IT). In the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, we assessed whether those
trained through these programmes were involved in the COVID-19 response and if
so, in which area(s) of the emergency response they were applying their skills.
Methods: From the records for each training programme, we identified the
individuals who had completed training during the relevant timespan of each
programme: 1999-2018 for the CRDF scheme, 2015-2020 for PGTS, and 2009-2019 for
SORT-IT. Between March and April 2020, we sent trainees an online questionnaire
by e-mail. Results: Out of 1254 trained, 1143 could be contacted and 699
responded to the survey. Of the latter, 411 were involved with the COVID-19
response, of whom 315 (77%) were applying their acquired skills in 85 countries.
With some overlap between programmes, 84% of those trained through CRDF were
applying their skills in 27 countries, 91% of those trained through PGTS were
applying their skills in 19 countries, and through SORT IT, this was 73% in 62
countries. Skills were being applied in various areas of the emergency response,
including: emergency preparedness, situation analysis/surveillance, infection
control and clinical management, data generation, mitigating the effect of COVID
on the health system, and research. Depending on the type of training programme,
26-74% were involved in implementation, operational or clinical research.
Conclusion: Research training programmes build research capacity and equip health
workers with transferable core competencies and skillsets prior to epidemics.
This becomes invaluable in building health system resilience at a time of
pandemics.
