Research Academy
Research methods, critical appraisal, and scientific writing — taught the way it's actually supervised.
Built from real dissertation supervision experience: proposal development, ethics review, analysis, and getting a manuscript publication-ready.
Curriculum
What this academy covers
Each module reflects a stage of the research process, from first draft protocol to submitted manuscript.
Research Proposal Development
Framing a research question, structuring objectives, and building a conceptual framework reviewers can follow.
Study Design & Methodology
Choosing the right design, defining variables, and matching methods to the question being asked.
Biostatistics & Data Analysis
Sample size, bivariable and multivariable analysis, and interpreting output without losing the clinical meaning.
Ethics & Regulatory Approval
Preparing for institutional review — informed consent, protocol compliance, and navigating ethics committee feedback.
Critical Appraisal of Literature
Reading a paper the way a reviewer does — study validity, bias, and how much weight a finding should carry.
Scientific Writing & Publication
Structuring a manuscript, responding to reviewer comments, and preparing dissertations for defence.
Modules are being published as they're finished.
