conflicts of interest, collaborative research, data collection and
management, mentorship and training, publication, authorship, and peer
review. Through a combination of lecture, small group discussion and
activities, and assigned case studies this course provides historical

debates that arise during all phases of the conduct of research: (1)
design and planning, (2) implementation, and (3) dissemination.
Target audience: Students
with a broad range of exposure to research environments would benefit
from this course. The course will be of interest to students considering
team science and interdisciplinary research approaches.
Student comments: The
guest speakers were excellent. Greatly appreciated how an effort was
made to bring in speakers relevant to our interests! Very good class!
The various topics & categories the course was divided into was very
helpful. Also, discussion after each topic helped with better
understanding of the topic being discussed.
