HIP 526 Capstone - Mentored Experience

Credits: 1 to 6
The mentored experience is the centerpiece of HIP and is designed to create independent clinical investigators. The mentored experience results in an academic product, either a grant submission or peer-reviewed publication. Developing a research proposal with a mentor allows the student the optimal opportunity to experience all the steps in this process. These include reviewing the background literature, developing a hypothesis and specific aims, designing an appropriate and fundable study to answer the hypothesis, formulating the statistical analysis, and refining the written work to maximize fundability. This exercise replicates the critical experience necessary to creating an independent, funded research program.
