Interdisciplinary Studies

IDST6303Introduction to Research Design in IDST Health Research3 ch
The course is designed for interdisciplinary doctoral or masters students to provide them an opportunity for career socialization; facilitate achievement of individual research goals; and enable students to acquire knowledge, skills and abilities to support their professional development as scholars. This seminar provides guided direction in the processes used for dissertation development and grant application proposals. Students will be actively involved in the critique and analysis of published literature and others’ dissertation proposals, grant applications, and manuscripts. Students may use the seminar to test their early ideas for their doctoral research and obtain feedback from peers and faculty. There will be opportunities provided for participating in mock reviews of research proposals (either as an investigator or reviewer).
