Description
This is an introductory course in research methods and proposal writing. The course is designed to give students experience in hypothesis and specific aims development and an overview of the use of the scientific study design for solving health-related problems. The governing principle of the course is to provide students with an interactive “how to” learning experience during which they receive regular feedback on their work. The course objectives will be accomplished through didactic lectures and small group and individual assignments. Ultimately, each student will write a brief research proposal that follows a similar format to the PharmD Investigation proposal. This will be accomplished through a series of individual assignments. In addition, students will present a research proposal from work accomplished through small group assignments to peers and College of Pharmacy faculty in a poster session at the end of the semester.
