Projects in Medical Research A CAM315
Introduction
Before a successful experiment can begin, it first must be planned. This unit provides students with experience in planning research in biomedical science. Students will learn to identify the motivation behind the design of experiments, and how to understand their potential impact. Students will learn about the legal and ethical framework that Australian science is conducted within. Finally, students will learn how to pitch an idea and craft a persuasive and evidence-based argument for research funding.
