26

Local Committees. Through this project the SCORE members can improve their knowledge and training ability in research and also be able to provide some benefits to CIMSA and the surrounding communities. Methods and phased implementation is divided into 4 levels, which are: • Level 1 : Training for Trainer At this level, SCORE members get some training on how to conduct research especially for quality control research from experts in this field of research. Material provided such as how to make a good questionnaire, which can then be used for Level 2. • Level 2 : Trans SCO Research for Quality Control This level is the stage of application of TnT, where SCORE member perform simple research in the form of trans-SCO research.

Here the research held in conjunction with the implementation of the project of other SCO (SCORA, SCOPH, etc.) and is used to evaluate the success of the SCO project (carried out by analyzing the before and after other SCO projects implemented through distribution of questionnaires). • Level 3 : University Level Research This level is almost the same as level 2, where SCORE members applying their research into true form of research.

However, the objective of this research more broadly, which includes national university. • Level 4 : Community Research

The research done on this level cooperates with external parties, such as health offices, health centers, and others. The subjects of this research are people in general community.
