The Fellowships provide protected time for up to two years during which the Fellows undertake training in Cochrane systematic reviews[i], develop their protocol, and complete a full Cochrane review in their chosen topic area.
The planned systematic review topics have all been evaluated as addressing question(s) of clear strategic relevance and importance to health and social care on the island of Ireland. All the Fellows will be supported by established Cochrane Review Groups and local supervisors experienced in the conduct of Cochrane Systematic Reviews.
