This will be done through 4 Modules. Module 1 will focus on building the fundamentals of research literacy; Module 2 will transfer these fundamentals to context-specific research design; Module 3 will then elaborate on this through a process of research mapping; and Module 4 will then test this research design against questions of research feasibility.
