This unique Institute blends online and in-person learning for a modern educational experience. In 2024, it starts with a flexible week of online learning, letting you fit it into your schedule. This prepares everyone for a more intensive week of workshops at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where experts from WHO, Cochrane, and Cornell guide participants through the process of creating systematic reviews for nutritional interventions.
Before the official start in early July, participants will get materials to begin their online learning. Expect to dedicate around four hours daily to online modules during the first week, along with three live sessions for interactive learning. The second week brings everyone to Cornell's campus for hands-on training, discussion, and networking.
The 2024 Institute schedule is as follows:
- Pre-Institute: Team formation and review topic selection (July 1-5)
- Week 1: Online training on Cochrane methods (July 8-14)
- Week 2: In-person training on campus (July 29-August 2, with recommended arrival on July 27 and departure on August 3)
Participants will delve into Cochrane methods and the GRADE tool that can support to ensure WHO recommendations are robust and evidence-informed. Likewise, a network of specialists and experts is built to maintain discussion on methods improvements and updates.
