Mentored Research Experience IV

1 unit

This course is the fourth in a five serial mentored research course series designed to provide one-to-one mentoring for students to have hands-on research experiences and gain skills necessary to conduct interdisciplinary research. Students will be paired with a nursing mentor and a non-nursing mentor. In courses I and II, students will learn about a chosen research project led by the non-nursing mentor and work with his/her research team. In courses III and IV, under the supervision of both nursing and non-nursing mentors, students will identify a scientific challenge that is significant to nursing. Students will then develop a research plan integrating methods from a non-nursing discipline to address the challenges. In course V, students will work closely with the nursing and non-nursing mentors in developing their dissertation research proposal.
