research, as well as professional careers in scientific research. Students learn how to plan, write, and critique scientific research proposals. Instructions focuses on direct, hands-on learning by writing a proposal that can serve as a student\u2019s graduate thesis research proposal. Students learn to pose relevant, interesting, and researchable questions; design testable hypotheses; develop research goals and objectives; and apply critical thinking skills to design appropriate research methods. Key elements of research planning include funding, project management, responsible conduct in research, and journal publications are covered. Graduate students taking this course will meet the University of Maine\u2019s requirement for Responsible Conduct in Research trainingu.
