This course will focus on designing a hypothesis-driven and/or goal- oriented research project in the area of Physical Therapy. This will include determining the research area and question, choosing the correct research design for the research question, assessing the feasibility of the proposed project, gaining knowledge and experience in writing a research proposal, and estimating the potential outcomes of a project. This course will re- emphasize, build upon, and apply knowledge and skills acquired in PT645 (Research Design and Measurement). This course will also enable the student to write a comprehensive research or project proposal for implementation. While students are given flexibility (based on advisor input) to design a project, all projects are expected to incorporate outcomes measurements.
