PMO 672 MPH Project/Practicum Design and Development
Building on the introductory course in this series, students will receive guidance on developing a pre-proposal and final proposal for their independent project. Protocol development workshops will offer students opportunities for feedback from classmates as well as faculty members. Guest speakers will present overviews on survey development and qualitative research, appropriate content for the analysis section of a protocol, and the IRB approval process for human subject’s research. Students will be encouraged to select a project which combines the project and practicum requirements, if possible. By the end of the course, students will develop a study plan to address their research question and demonstrate compliance with the process of institutional review and approval for student research by submitting all required University forms and supporting documents prior to study implementation.
