Local information is required to guide informed strategic planning and implementation for mosquito surveillance and control. Operations research is a practical type of research that aims to systematically generate data-driven insight that inform better policy and program decisions.
The PacMOSSI consortium initiated a small research grant scheme to support Pacific Island Countries to improve capacity for operations research.
A call will be made soon for new proposals that respond to a clear operational challenge faced by one or more Pacific Island Countries in delivering their mosquito-borne disease surveillance and control programs.
If you work in vector surveillance and control in the Pacific and are interested in learning more about being a mentee or mentor in the PacMOSSI Mentoring Program, please get in touch with us through our contact page or at pacmossi@jcu.edu.au
The PacMOSSI operational research module in the online course provides an opportunity for further learning. This interactive module will step you through the process and help you develop your own operations research plan. The course will take 2 to 3 hours and can be done at your own pace.
