Explores and examines the ethical issues central to clinical research, reviews current and emerging regulations for clinical investigation and human subjects protections, and promotes understanding of the function and procedures of Institutional Review Boards.
Provides an overview of outcomes and effectiveness research. Emphasizes conceptual, design, and analytical aspects of research including policy implications. Covers both experimental (randomized) and observational designs. Addresses spectrum of outcomes and effectiveness research. Includes topics: qualitative research, cost-effectiveness and adaptive trial design.
Presents basic concepts of relational database design for clinical and basic research. Includes development of data collection forms, building databases for both “classic” and “longitudinal” projects using REDCap, data quality control, and data security.
Introduces basic principles of quality improvement/knowledge translation (QI/KT) research. Focuses on efforts aimed at increasing the extent to which patients receive evidence-based therapies. Discusses the concepts, methods, and applications of QI/KT theory and explores real-world QI/KT projects. Outlines the development of a research proposal for a specific QI/KT topic. Critically appraises a published guideline. Systematically reviews literature around a QI/KT topic.
Introduces the process of writing peer-reviewed research papers and provides a brief overview of grant proposal writing. Emphasizes a logical organization, clear writing, and an understanding of readers' and reviewers' expectations. Prepares selected sections of a first draft of a research paper based on their own research, and they receive feedback on their drafts through in-class discussion and written comments from the instructor.
Considers the principles of successful clinical research strategies and the requirements of funding agencies. Identifies a defined research project together with a suitable team of mentors and collaborators. Develops a written research proposal in the format of a grant application which integrates the scientific principles of the GTPCI curriculum.

Provides an intensive introduction to clinical research methods, emphasizing epidemiological & biostatistical methods.
Explores topics related to clinical investigation presented by faculty experts from within and outside of Johns Hopkins. Addresses issues related to biomeasurement, the design of randomized clinical trials, challenges with observational cohort studies, studies focusing on special populations (pediatric age group, pregnant subjects, international studies), and research fraud.
Explores in two terms, topics related to the science of clinical investigation presented by faculty experts from within and outside of Johns Hopkins. Addresses issues related to approaches/methods in clinical investigation (the design of clinical trials, challenges with cohort studies, translational studies, overview of artificial intelligence and machine learning, approaches to health services research, biomeasurement; systematic reviews), clinical investigation in special populations (pediatric age group, pregnant subjects, international studies); research fraud; the design of a conceptual framework for a research question and the development of the aims of a research proposal.
