4. Background/Introduction

5. Research topic (broad overview)
Relevant background of project
What made you ask your research question?
Why is the research important?
What is the broader impact of the research?

6. Literature Review
What is currently known about your research question/problem?
Make sure you do a thorough literature search- this should basically be the introduction/background in your IRB application
What is the gap in literature that your research project is filling?
This should be 2-3 slides

7. Research Question Overall purpose of the study (primary aim)
Specific aims (secondary aims)
Clearly state research question(s) here

8. Methods

9. Study Setting/Research Sites
The Internal Medicine Center is an internal medicine residency based clinic that serves ~10,000 active patients in an urban, underserved area
(keep expanding about population, trainees, etc.)
If doing multi-center study, describe each site

10. Study Population
Number of subjects enrolled (including sub-groups if enrolling at multiple sites):
Age of patients that may be enrolled
Location of patients that may be enrolled (outpatient/inpatient/other)
Any specific population characteristics (e.g. specific comorbidities, vulnerable populations, etc.)
Inclusion/exclusion criteria
Study timeframe

11. Study Design
Type of study design (e.g. cohort study, cross-sectional, randomized controlled trial, etc.)
Approach chosen for assessing the impact of the intervention (statistical models, survey results over time, etc.) including the assessment of any unintended impact of the intervention
Approach used to establish whether the observed outcomes were due to the intervention(s). (Was there a control group?)

12. Variables Collected/Measures
Give brief overview of variables collected, noting if they were retrospective or prospective (they will all be one or the other)
You can list them all and highlight the ones you want to focus on, or list the ones you want to focus on only, noting that there were other variables collected (it will depend on how many there are)
Discuss how dependent (outcome) and independent variables are categorized and measured.

13. Data analysis
What statistical methods/models will be used to draw inferences from the data as well as look for variation in the data, including the effects of time?
See Mike Oravec for help during design phase of study.
Power analysis (if necessary) - Ensure that your study has adequate statistical power to answer research question (if applicable – Discuss with Mike Oravec during design phase).

14. Ethical Considerations (this could be at the end of methods or in the “study design” section)
Ethical aspects of implementing and studying the intervention and how they were addressed, including, but not limited to, formal ethics review and potential conflicts of interest

15. Results

16. Analysis
You will have multiple slides of analysis/charts- we will work through this together
You can mix tables/charts/graphs with text
Simply state results. Save any interpretation/editorializing for the discussion
*** talk to Mike Oravec/Emily George

17. Discussion

18. Results
What did your study find? Did the data uphold your hypothesis or reject it?
What are the statistically significant results?
What are the results that were surprisingly not statistically significant?
Any trends?

19. Strengths and Limitations
Strengths surrounding study design, population, filling of literature gap, etc.
Limits to the generalizability of the work
Factors that might have limited internal validity such as confounding, bias, or imprecision in the design, methods, measurement, or analysis
Efforts made to minimize and adjust for limitations

20. Summary
Key findings, including relevance to the rationale and specific aims
Particular strengths of the project

21. Areas for Future Research
What is the next step in your research project (either for you or another researcher?)

22. Conclusions Usefulness of the work Sustainability
Potential for spread to other contexts
Implications for practice and for further study in the field
Suggested next steps
