Medical Writing for Clinical Research

3 units

This is a graduate-level intensive writing course that will guide students in developing a competitive research grant proposal. Written work, guided by each student's needs and interests, will cover all sections of a research grant application, manuscript writing, progress reports, and other forms of reporting scientific findings to the public. We also will compose mock NIH grant applications. By the end of the course, each student will produce a comprehensive portfolio that includes a grant proposal, manuscript, and press release to the public.
