<![CDATA[Proposal writing training enriches lecturers' capacity in conducting research. The purpose of this study was to assess direct feedback (reactions) from faculty members participating in a research proposal writing training workshop. This was a cross-sectional study conducted through a self-administered questionnaire. The data was analyzed for central tendency. Pre-questionnaire data were retro skewed, so the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used for median comparisons. Open question data were checked manually. The results of this study found a ranking of training workshop attributes, namely usefulness (8.71 ± 1.23), content (8.86 ± 1.15), relevance (8.90 ± 1.18) and facilitation (9.09 ± 1.15). .09) was also quite prominent and overall (9.05±.97). Participants' confidence levels increased significantly (<0.001) on six relevant cognitive skills items; conducting research (before Median-2, IQ-1, after Median-3, IQ-0); conducting a systemic review (before Median-2, IQ-1, after Median-3, IQ-1), choosing a research design (before Median-2, IQ-2, after Median-3, IQ-0), applying basic biostatistics ( before Median-2, IQ-1, after Median-3, IQ-0), academic writing (before Median-2, IQ-1, after Median-3, IQ-0) and research proposal writing (before Median-2, IQ-1, after Median-3, IQ-0). Overall the feedback from the participants was positive and excellent and their confidence levels increased significantly on the cognitive skills assessment.]]>
