NUTR 490A Research Proposal Development

This course is designed for students enrolled in the Applied Nutrition Science Track of the MS in Nutrition and Health Promotion program. Coursework will guide students in developing a research proposal for their thesis project during the fall semester. Students may work in groups, with the support of a faculty advisor, to choose a research topic, conduct a comprehensive literature review, develop research aims, outline study methodology, and prepare data collection tools. Research proposals are submitted to Simmons' Institutional Review Board for review and approval. This course prepares students for implementing their thesis projects in NUTR 490B during the spring semester.
