OTDE 8020 - Doctoral Inquiry Seminar II

3 credit hours

In the second course of the doctoral seminar series, students will build on the needs assessment/gaps from the literature review from the previous course and develop a methodologically sound and feasible capstone project plan grounded in theory. Collaboration with the community site mentor is critical in the project feasibility plan. Students will learn research methodologies and design, including capstone outcomes, to support the design of the project plan. As part of the seminar, students will learn about human subject research with CITI training and complete an IRB application draft along with an informed consent process. Students will submit a scholarly project proposal and identify potential sources of funding or reimbursement for their project.
