OTR 510 - Research I: Project Proposal Development

Students apply knowledge from Statistics and Research Methods courses and the information from OT courses to develop a written research proposal. The course contains two parts: (a) didactic portion in which parts of the research proposal are discussed; (b) portion in which students work in small groups with their research advisor. Guidance is provided in refining a research question relevant to OT, conducting a literature review, developing a research design, identifying participants, developing consent forms, and completing an application for the Human Subjects Research Committee. By the end of the course students are expected to have completed a first draft of their research proposal and submitted their application to the Human Subjects Research Committee. Prerequisite: Requires successful completion of all undergraduate OT courses.
