Course Catalog

The experiences will vary depending on the specific faculty member's project but may include: conducting clinical or basic science research, performing an extensive review of the literature and preparing a summary report/manuscript, analyzing data that has previously been collected. Students may work on a single project or be exposed to several types of projects during the course. For specific details of the course, students should contact individual faculty.

Prerequisites: Graduate and PharmD students. Permission of instructor.

Terms: Fall, Winter, Spr, SprSum, Sum

The purpose of this course is for the learner to gain knowledge and experience in writing innovative research questions and hypotheses for grant applications. The course consists of several interactive lectures and workshops about the process of grant writing. Students will select a topic from one of several options, and complete most aspects of an NIH R21/R02 grant. A writing group discussion and/or presentation to the group for peer feedback is expected several times throughout the course.
