This course is designed to teach important concepts related to research data planning, collection, storage, and dissemination. Instructional material will cover best-practice guidelines for 1) investigator-initiated & sponsored research studies, 2) single- & multi-center studies, and 3) prospective data collection & secondary-reuse of clinical data for purposes of research. The curriculum will balance theoretical guidelines with the use of practical tools designed to assist in planning and conducting research. Real-world research examples, problem-solving exercises, and hands-on training will ensure students are comfortable with all concepts.
