Educational Objectives
To learn and understand:
- How to develop a research question
- Types of studies
- To develop a research design
- The Institutional Review Board (IRB) applications process
- The concept behind and usage of relational databases
- Basics of research statistics
To demonstrate knowledge by:

- Developing a mock project in the ‘Small Groups’ workshops
The research training program will be held in the second half of July each year. The first half of the day will be dedicated to basic science research training. hands-on practical training in the laboratory. This research experience will be supervised and monitored by Dr. Ruxana Sadikot.
The afternoons will be dedicated to the “Introduction to Clinical and Translational Research” course provided by the CTSI. A sample structure of these two is as below:
