About this Course

This course is targeted to early career and novice researchers writing their first major competitive biomedical / health research grant proposals. After the course, you will be able to: 1) Identify and summarize key decisions in study design that align scope and complexity with budget and timeline; 2) Describe key variables and their relationships to each other; and 3) Interpret essential parts of a power analysis and summarize appropriate questions for an expert biostatistician. We are faculty at a major research institution with proven experience training others to health sciences research career success. Study design and analysis planning are key skills for grant writing. This course is part of a larger Specialization called Grant Writing for Health Researchers. Please consider taking the other two courses on (1) Grant proposal plans, sections, and resubmission, and (2) Scientific writing. Together, these have been a recipe for success for researchers at the University of Colorado and beyond. Upon completion, you will earn an e-badge to display your new skills. Please join us!
