The PRC is a 10-day intensive research course that is usually offered in person by DPA experts in Canberra, Australia. Participants will receive intensive introductory training on research design, methodology, methods and planning. In addition to this, participants will have the opportunity to take a couple of content specific micro-credentialed courses that focus on either Pacific politics, gender or security and development which can be credited towards two academic programs at the ANU i.e. the Graduate Certificate of Pacific Development and the Master of Pacific Development.
