Research Final Project

Your topic has been funded to expand your literature review and conduct your own research on

the subject. The only stipulation is that it must be made interdisciplinary in order for the funding

to be granted. Interdisciplinary means the involvement of 2 or more professions or departments,

such as: radiology and respiratory, nursing and physical therapy, radiology and oncology,

nursing, respiratory, and occupational therapy, etc. You do not need to include ALL disciplines,

and it can be any discipline relevant to the project. You will create a presentation for the grant

board as your final project.

When working on your presentation, include the following:

1. APA formatted title slide at the beginning of the presentation

2. What is your topic? How will it be made interdisciplinary? What other disciplines will be

included?

3. Why is this topic relevant to current research? What do you hope to achieve by

conducting further research on this topic?

4. What method of research is the best fit for your project? Why? Give examples of what

you intend to do to obtain your information.

5. If human subjects are used for research, what must you do in order to perform the

research and include the results in your project? Who must you obtain permission from,

what steps must you take for the sake of your research group, etc? Include this

information even if you are not using human subjects for your project. 6. What is the role of each discipline during the research project? What data will each

discipline collect? What is necessary to promote cooperation between all disciplines?

7. Name 5 advantages and 5 disadvantages/struggles of conducting this research in an

interdisciplinary manner.

8. List possible scholarly journals you could publish your research in once it is complete.

Explain why you think these journals would be a good fit.

9. Address feedback received from your instructor on ALL assignments. For APA

assignments, provide the page number and APA code from the manual where you found

the correction. For the remaining assignments, reflect on your instructor’s feedback,

explain whether or not you understand, and offer suggestions on how to improve your

work in the future. (Approximately 1 slide per assignment should be sufficient.)

10. Finally, 1-2 slides providing a summary of your experience in this interdisciplinary

course. What did you enjoy? What did you find frustrating? How has this course altered

or enhanced your view of the relevance and value of research? How has this course

altered or enhanced your view of the other disciplines and the importance of working

together?

For this project, do not exceed 20 slides total (NOT including the title slide). You may use

themes if you choose, but please make sure it is legible. Use bullet points to highlight key

information on the slide. Expand the concepts in the note section, if necessary.
