The first year focuses on formative research, needs assessment, and capacity building, followed by phased implementation, scaling, and evaluation. One of the goals of the RAHAT initiative is to strengthen the research capacity of rural health institutions through capacity-building as a key intervention. To maximize engagement and practical learning, the courses are designed as short, interactive, and highly application-driven modules, fostering real-world application of knowledge. Conducted annually, they will play a pivotal role in building institutional research capacity and advancing healthcare education.
