Course ID
041331
Course Description
In the past two decades, a succession of national health emergencies has challenged preparedness and response capacities of governments, hospitals and clinics, public health agencies, and academic researchers, in the United States and abroad. Each of these national emergencies has yielded important information and data that are essential to what is, by design and necessity, an ongoing effort to improve preparedness and response. The knowledge that is generated through well-designed, effectively executed research in anticipation of, in the midst of, and after a national health emergency is critical to our future capacity. Conducting research during a national health emergency is essential, but difficult. During this course, we will explore and apply best practices to develop and implement a research protocol, using the COVID-19 pandemic as a specific case study.
