Cochrane needs, as per the Methods Structure and Function Review, to separate two principle methods functions as methods research, evaluation and development is a separate task from providing methods support to CRGs and Centres etc. The former largely drives Methods Groups (research networks with people working to their own research agenda for which Cochrane benefits). The latter requires greater consideration and development needing a multi-level approach creating capacity and working more closely with CRGs. A set of slides is attached presenting a model that fits within a wider Cochrane proposal – thematic hubs for the first task.
Webinars late September/October for further discussion and development of proposal ideas. These are open to other Groups to attend. All Structure and Function Review webinars are not restricted. Hence the opportunity for prior review of proposed slide set for debate and discussion.
