PUBH 5000

This course will prepare students to undertake research in public health by teaching them to critique the scientific literature, understand the ethics review process, articulate their research through grantsmanship, create a project plan, and learn how to share their research with a scientific and a non-specialist audience. By the end of the course, students will be able to conduct research from idea to proposal to execution. Students will learn to: develop meaningful and answerable research questions; complete a literature search; develop an applied research approach and plan; identify appropriate data sources and collection methods; present their project idea in a clear, concise manner; and translate research knowledge to difference audiences.
