all CRAs and Regional centres participating in the TRACK trial to support them in their role as the trial progresses.
The George Institute for Global Health's Fundamentals of Research Methods and Study Design course is designed to equip clinicians, allied health and public health professionals, health policymakers and health program managers with a basic understanding of epidemiology and research methods.
The course has been developed in conjunction with senior academics from the George Institute with expertise in high impact, global health research. They include specialist clinicians, epidemiologists and biostatisticians who have extensive teaching experience at both an undergraduate and post-graduate level.
The Randomised Clinical Trials course an introductory course for those seeking to gain a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of RCTs, including effective trial management. The Course consists of eleven (11) online modules delivered by experienced researchers and trial managers at The George Institute for Global Health.

This module on Exploratory data analysis under the Biostatistics course is aimed to build the capacity of public health researchers to be able to perform exploratory data analysis in context of the research question and research design and to prepare the data for statistical inference.
In the Exploratory data analysis module, participants will learn to:
- Identify distribution of outcome variables
- Perform outlier and influential observation analysis.
- Identify potential violations of the assumptions before the application of final statistical testing and modelling procedures.
- Identify appropriate transformations for variables where needed.
- Identify a priori, relationship patterns between multiple dependent and independent variables through graphs
This course is intended for researchers, research degree students, and other professionals, who would like to improve their understanding of linkages between environmental changes and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), innovative research approaches, and core principles for the development of effective solutions.
Intended Learning objectives:
- To understand the concept of environmental risk transition and its implications for NCDs in different settings
- To distinguish public health paradigms ranging from the biomedical perspective to planetary health
- To practice applying planetary health perspective to their own research/work
- To recognize different mechanisms by which environmental changes impact on non-communicable diseases and assess their possible interactions
- To understand regional differences in the NCDs disease burden and its environmental risk factors
- To practice incorporating environmental risk factors in NCD risk assessment and management through life course
- To practice identifying and assessing different mitigation and adaptation strategies for environmental changes and NCDs
- To recognize the importance of systems thinking, transdisciplinary collaboration, stakeholder engagement, innovation, and transformative change and practice their application in own research
