RSVP Form<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

The key to a good study is its research design – statistics are merely tools to answer your research questions. But first, what are your research questions?\u00a0How do we make sure we are asking the right questions for your study?\u00a0How can we utilize existing data to answer your research questions?\u00a0What kind of data should we collect to answer your research questions?<\/p>\n

In this workshop, we will be joined by our department’s biostatistician, Dr. Siny Tsang, to go over some of the fundamentals that researchers should consider when forming a research study.<\/strong>\u00a0This workshop is geared towards those who are interested in research but finds it challenging to progress from the ideas phase into the research design phase. This workshop will be perfect for those who have half-baked\u00a0research ideas, but have yet formulated\u00a0their study into a research proposal.<\/p>\n

Participants are encouraged, but not required, to come to the workshop with research ideas. Those who have existing research proposals are welcome to attend, and are encouraged to set up one-to-one in-person meetings<\/em><\/strong> to flush out specifics for their studies by completing this form<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Event Details:
\nWhere?<\/strong>\u00a0Pinn Hall 1F Meeting Room
\nWhen?<\/strong>\u00a01\/29\/2025 Wednesday
