Research Project Mgmt Bootcamp

Catalog description

For many MPH graduates their first job is a project or research coordinator for a public health research study. This course is designed to provide a crash course in aspects of these jobs to prepare students to apply competitively for their first job post-MPH (and to prepare them for applying for the applied practice experience). Students will gain direct skills in: project management, IRB processes and procedures, setting up a data management system (i.e., REDCap), project materials (e.g., standard operating procedures), and grant management. The course incorporates skill- building activities, readings, professional development lectures, and recorded interviews with faculty and research staff.
