2) Research Methodology Workshops
One of the activities of the Institute is running research methodology workshops in different levels. Through these workshops, the Institute hopes to have a role in improvement of knowledge of research in Iran.


 

3) Data Collection in Tehran and all over the           country

Data collection is one of the most important activities in research projects, which can be done by using questionnaires in different places such as the residential place, working place or health and medical centers. Health Researchers R&D Institute, having access to an experienced team, conducts this activity in Tehran and also all over the country. The following projects are examples in which data collection has been conducted by this Institute: "A survey of the costs of diabetes type I & II in Tehran", "Ophthalmologic Indices of Tehran population in 2001", "Comprehensive plan for assessing health damages caused by air pollution in Tehran".



4) Establishment of performance-based                   management in health and medical units
Management is an art that needs knowledge and information. In the present world, most of the decisions must be taken based on evidence, and evidence consists of indicators that can be defined by studying inputs, outputs, the process of the activities, and results and outcomes of these activities. Health Researchers R&D Institute is ready to do these activities and to establish the performace-based management in health and medical centers. It’s notable that the Institute has prior experiece in this regard in the project on "Establishment of performance-based management program in the emergency room of a non-educational hospital".



5) Designing databases
Our era is the era of information, and information is achieved by collection and classification of data. Computers and their capabilities, if used correctly, can make it possible to gather and classify the necessary information in the shortest period of time. Health Researchers R&D Institute has conducted the great project on the nation-wide database of medical articles (IranMedex) and thus, has proved its capabilities in this regard, and now it is ready to design any kind of database in various fields, from the very first steps till the final step of uploading the database on the internet.



6) Establishment of the peer review system for      research projects and medical articles

One of the main steps in research pragmatization is the corrrect dissemination of the research results, which consolidates in their publication in a scientific and research journal. In our country about 70 journals have gained the scientific research certification from the Deputy for Research and Technology in the Ministry of Health and Medical Education; However, the low quality of the published articles is the matter of concern. Several factors contribute to the integration of the article, such as the proper primary design of the article and the author’s ability to present the results, also the capabilities of the peer review system of the journal itself. In foreign journals, peer reviewers precisely find the faults of the article, so that the author will be obliged to correct his/her article in such a way that there remains no methodological or grammatical mistake. This process (review and correction) takes place in the shortest possible time period. The peer review system should have the ability to recognize the proper article and to guide the author in correctly editing his/her own article. Unfortunately, these systems are not active in the journals published in our country.

Health Researchers R&D Institute in continuity with its goals for dissemination of research, presents new services for the peer review system of the scientific and research articles. We hope these services can enhance the research capacity in the country.
