Research productivity in the Eastern Mediterranean Region is relatively low in all fields, including critical care. We describe a capacity-building research program that was piloted with 11 clinicians from the Eastern Mediterranean Region, who had minimal research experience. The program was conducted over 1 year, with a structure that specifically addressed factors that contribute to low research productivity. We describe the structure of the program, the faculty involved, the feasibility, and challenges faced, as well as the impact of the program on research output. At a small scale, the program was generally feasible and demonstrated promising results. Evaluating the feasibility of conducting such a program over a longer period of time and with a larger group of participants is necessary since research capacity-building programs require multiple years to demonstrate a significant impact on research output.
东地中海区域在包括重症监护在内的所有领域的研究产出都相对较低。我们描述了一个能力建设研究项目，该项目由来自东地中海区域的11名临床医生进行试点，他们几乎没有研究经验。该项目为期1年，其结构专门针对导致研究产出低的因素。我们描述了该项目的结构、参与的教员、可行性、面临的挑战以及该项目对研究产出的影响。在小规模情况下，该项目总体上是可行的，并取得了有希望的结果。由于研究能力建设项目需要数年时间才能对研究产出产生重大影响，因此有必要评估在更长时间内和更大规模的参与者群体中开展此类项目的可行性。
