Members of the Trainers' Network can access resources just for trainers on this site, including downloadable presentations and additional resources to support face-to-face training.

• Build capacity among trainers to provide training (scientific/technical skills, and teaching/learning skills)
• Disseminate training information (e.g. updated resources, advance notice of changes to Cochrane methods, train-the-trainer opportunities)
• Contribute to improvement of existing training resources and identify new resources for development, including translated materials
