SW 650 Quantitative Scientific Methods
This is a required seminar designed to introduce and immerse students in the process of research as a sequence of events, systematically organized to further knowledge and promote social justice using evidence. It is intended to be a first step in students’ transition from clinician to research scientist by learning how to take a scientific and conceptual stance to knowledge development. Students will develop a viable research project in a step-by-step process leading to a final research proposal featuring peer-review of each other’s work. By loosely following the National Institutes of Health (NIH) model, students will engage in the highest available standards for research proposals, positioning them for success in research, even if they do not intend to pursue NIH-level funding.
