Planning a career in research can be challenging, but there are many free resources available to help you.

The Professional Development Scheme (PDS), designed by TGHN, provides a comprehensive mechanism for recording, tracking, and guiding health professionals in developing their research skills through the collection of core competencies, qualifications, and training.

The PDS is based on The Global Health Network’s TDR Global Competency Framework for Clinical Research, which sets out the competencies that a research team should demonstrate in order to successfully conduct a study.
