Description	The course focuses on properties of good measurement that are integral to the research process. Specific objectives are to analyze methods for testing psychometric properties (reliability and validity) of psychological instruments and physiological instruments; to evaluate the adequacy of selected scaling methodologies used in research; to apply knowledge of instrumentation to the description of a psychosocial instrument and a physiological instrument for a research proposal; and to synthesize course content with statistical criteria for scale evaluation and make decisions regarding scale revision. The domain sampling model is presented as the major theory of measurement error, with the parallel test model presented as a special case of the domain sampling model. The construct, criterion, and content validity of psychosocial instruments are explored, and methods for evaluating each of these relative to specific instruments are presented. A variety of scaling methodologies, as well as the principles involved in the design and formatting of questionnaires, will be discussed.

Program Director Rank	Associate Professor of Medicine
Co-director	Smita Nayak, MD
C-Director Rank	Assistant Professor of Medicine
Description	The course is an overview of the concepts necessary for performing systematic reviews and meta-analyses, covered in sufficient detail to enable students to conduct their own systematic reviews and meta-analyses after completion of the course. Students will learn about the individual steps involved in conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses, including developing a focused research question, assembling a team to perform the study, designing a study protocol, defining inclusion and exclusion criteria, identifying relevant literature databases (including Cochrane databases and Medline), developing literature search strategies, performing the literature search, creating a data abstraction form, handling data abstraction and management, and using statistical methods for meta-analysis. We will discuss important topics such as criteria for meta-analysis, exploration of heterogeneity, choice of a meta-analytic method, study quality assessment, sensitivity and subgroup analysis, evaluation of potential sources of bias, presentation of results, and application of review results. Each class will have both a didactic component and a hands-on component that allows students to immediately apply the concepts introduced during the session. Students will use concepts learned in this course to evaluate and update a published systematic review and meta-analysis.

Description	CLRES 2500 provides an overview of conceptual and pragmatic issues in the design and implementation of patient-oriented research involving older adults. A brief summary of the current status of older adult health, disease, living situations, and health care in the United States will be followed by a systematic study of the effects of aging and chronic disease on research issues related to sampling, recruitment, consent, measurement, censoring, intervention, analysis, and research in special settings. Students are expected to demonstrate integration of information provided over the course of the semester by creating an original grant proposal for a research project involving aging adults. Alternatively, students who have previously completed a research proposal for another purpose can critique and revise their proposal based on the content of this course. Students who are in the Degree Granting Programs in Clinical Research and are working toward the master's degree may use their final grant proposal as the basis for the thesis or substantive research project required for completion of the optional content specialization in aging and chronic disease.

Description	From Benchtop to Bedside is a 10-week course designed to give research scientists, clinicians, and other interested parties the basic information necessary to assess the therapeutic or diagnostic potential of basic science research discoveries. The course will help scientists understand the focused development of additional information, including proof of concept and validation experiments that increase the value of the technology and reduce the investment risk. The course will also give scientists insight into how intellectual property creates a barrier to entry for the competition, and the fundamentals of investment from the private sector to help finance the climb over regulatory hurdles and meet developmental milestones. The course consists of a series of seminars designed to identify and provide details about the steps necessary to develop a scientific or clinical discovery from the laboratory to the patient. Topics covered include how to: recognize an opportunity and the commercial potential of a scientific discovery, protect the intellectual property, disclose the invention to the university, initiate the university licensing process, begin early development of a drug candidate or a device for clinical use, and plan for success within the regulatory guidelines. In addition, the course will clarify the scientist?s expected role and responsibilities as the process moves forward through clinical development.

C-Director Rank	Education Course Director at NCBI
Description	This mini-course describes how to combine the output of multiple prediction programs to find genes, promoters and other transcription-factor binding sites in human DNA sequences. To illustrate the method, an instructional program called Greengene will be used to integrate the output of several gene-finding tools. Greengene also allows a coding sequence and accompanying protein translation to be assembled from the exons detected by these programs. Because the output of several programs is integrated, exon selection is more reliable.
