The course information, topics & objectives, and schedule can be found at http://www.llu.edu/assets/research-affairs/docs/nih_2012-2013_at_llu.pdf. This course is an invaluable tool for all who are interested in the design, conduct, and analysis of research. The live transmission will take place at the LLU Medical Center locations described on the attached schedule. Optional arrangements could be made for delayed viewing (within 72 hours after each lecture date) via the NIH lecture website if you are not able to attend in-class.
You may register to attend the conference using the following login : http://ippcr.nihtraining.com/register.php?remote_site=true , select Loma Linda University from the Name of Organization drop down list and then complete the Student Information, Contact Information, and Affiliation information sections.
