Part of the PhD program.

This course is a two-part training course providing students with (a) guidance and hands-on experience with grant writing; and (b) writing and reviewing scientific papers and abstracts as well as core skills in scientific presentation. The first part of the course will provide a comprehensive overview of and experience with the grant writing process. The second part of the course will expose students to the key elements of scientific writing in epidemiology, with an emphasis on constructing each component of a scientific paper (introduction, methods, results, discussion); adhering to widely-used reporting standards; elements of the peer review process; and selection of appropriate journals for reporting their work.
