The goal of this 2½ day workshop will provide an overview of clinical research for dental faculty and industry employees. Specific topics include 1) design of observational and interventional research, 2) day-to-day operation and management of clinical studies, 3) fundamentals of data management and statistical analysis, 4) publication of results, 5) industry and NIH research funding, and, 6) opportunities for training in clinical research. The workshop is offered by members of the Task Force on Design and Analysis in Oral Health Research, a non-profit "think tank" supported by industry and composed of academic, industry and government researchers (http://www.taskforceondesign.org/). Participants are expected to attend all 2½ days.
