This course provides the necessary foundations for researchers to answer current and future research questions and, ultimately, to advance our collective knowledge. Just as responsible, ethical research methodologies are essential to any research study, so are the fundamentals of research essential to understanding proper methodologies in the first place. This course prepares participants to become independent investigators by teaching practical skills, such as: ethics training, choosing an appropriate research methodology, drafting a research question, evaluating source materials, ranking supporting evidence and conducting a comprehensive literature review.
