The event witnessed active participation from all research centres under the Research and Development Division (RDD) of the Ghana Health Service (Kintampo Health Research Centre (KHRC), Navrongo Health Research Centre and Dodowa health research centre). Research officers from the regional health directorates across the country also participated in the meeting.

Prior to the two day forum, all research officers working under the Ghana Health Service, including those at the research centres, were also taken through a one-day orientation training at the University of Ghana Medical Centre, on the 5th of September 2023.
