CTM 5209 Practical Clinical & Translational Research Proposal Development
Practical aspects of research protocol conceptualization and development. Enrollees will learn how to translate a research question into a hypothesis, how to identify and describe hypothesis-appropriate study subjects and study measurements, select a specific study design appropriate to the research question and resources available, synthesize the elements into a study plan, and develop a statistical section and analytical plan. Protocols developed by the students will form the primary basis for group discussions.
