As researchskills are necessary for lifelong learning, the level of researchin the formal Educationvaries between countries and between palliative care professionals and educators. A well-targeted, quality researchcan answer important questions and provide evidence to inform decisions at internshipclinical and developmentpolicy.

RESPACC aims to include core research competencies as part of the clinical practices of palliative care professionals with the following objectives:
1. Design effective Education strategies to improve the basic research competencies of palliative care multidisciplinary team members and teams.
2. Stimulate development and the use of innovative approaches that increase the effective uptake of evidence-based research in palliative care.
3. Increase the research capacity of up to 48 palliative care professionals.
4. Raise awareness among palliative care providers of the importance of integrating research into the clinical internship .
