Program Description: The Research Care and Training Program (RCTP), is collaboration between Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and University of Washington (UW).

SEARCH is a five-year cluster randomized trial to test whether universal ART can improve health, educational, and economic outcomes. 

• Coordinate and conduct the costing exercise for the community health campaigns (CHC) including but not inclusive:

1. Gathering the CHC cost data in each study community once a year, which involves quantification of resources and unit costs;
2. Entering the CHC cost data in uniform Excel data sets and perform basic quality checks;
3. Reporting to the SE/C team on the data collection progress

• Conduct the time and motion (T&M) exercise at each study clinic including but not inclusive:

1. Providing training on the time and motion (T&M) exercise to the clinic staff;
2. Coordinate and conduct the T&M exercise at each study clinic once a year

• Conduct the micro-costing exercise at each study clinic including but not inclusive:

1. Working in close consultation with clinic staff and administrators to quantify resources used to provide ART services under standard expenditure categories (e.g., personnel, capital goods, ARV drugs, etc.);
2. Gathering expenditure data from various sources (e.g., administrative records, study budget and expenditure, etc.);
3. Identifying other information sources when cost data is not available (e.g., donated items);
4. Completing the uniform cost data collection protocol retrospectively in 12-monthly intervals for each study clinic;
5. Assuring accuracy of data entry and resolving discrepancies in data in consultation with the SE/C team;
6. Collecting monthly patient data (e.g. number of patients on ART) at each clinic
