This study is a registry-based randomized clinical trial, which is a novel strategy using health quality registries as on-line platforms for randomization, case record forms, and follow-up.
Further, to assess the feasibility and potential of utilizing on-line platforms for expanding health research capacity in resource-limited settings, we conducted this study in India.
Three months after the course, median gains in knowledge scores remained similar for the on-site and on-line platforms for both Biostatistics (16% vs. 12%; p = 0.59) and Research Ethics (17% vs. 13%; p = 0.14).
*p < 0.001, **p = 0.009, ***0.005 compared to pre-course scores for the same domain and format Research Ethics knowledge scores also increased significantly from baseline, for both the on-site and on-line platforms (Table 2; p < 0.001 and p = 0.005, respectively).
The on-line platform would then host brainstorming sessions, contests and other methods to generate ideas for governmental and/or private action — with some accountability at the end of the process about how outside expertise had an impact on policymaking.
A scheme providing good performances on both datasets has finally been chosen to build the similarity index, actually implemented in the VEGA platform [15] (an open-source on-line platform providing several QSAR models).
This research is different than the traditional on-line platform designed; we used self- determination theory as a learning approach, and design the online platform for students' self determination.
For molarity calculations, the Molarity Calculator (GraphPad, USA) on-line platform was used.
Finally, the on-line platform offers a convenient assessment opportunity and CME delivery mechanism that that can aid in wider dissemination of the program.
Several new initiatives resulted from the interviews with IEPs, including: clinical skills lab reviews; written tutorial workshops; mobile mentors; small group mentorship; delivery of written exam modules to remote communities; and transitioning the written program to an on-line platform.
The protein sequence of epitope DF3 in humans is TRPAPGS [ 27], whereas the canine DF3 epitope sequence is SRPAPSS (protein sequences have been obtained from NCBI with accession numbers [canine NP_001181906.1 and human P15941.3] and then compared using the MultAlin on-line platform [ 28]).
