In addition to learning data collection and analysis methods, participants learn research collaboration efforts by engaging in group projects with other participants and graduate students. Group projects are designed and mentored by a faculty member in the Departments of Biostatistics or Epidemiology and by a graduate student or postdoctoral research fellow. This research is a strong introduction to research methods, analysis, organization and presentation of results.
