Research Proposal (Epidemiology / Biostatistics)

M

I am interested in a PhD in biostatistics / epidemiology and currently thinking of writing a good research proposal. Can anyone please suggest the format, length, and some useful links regarding this.

hmm, do you need to? a lot of studentships in this area will already be attached to some project so you can apply for a specific project.

M

Do you think I should simply write to them and ask for a list of projects available and possibility of funding?

J

probably. you could come up with your own ideas but you may not be in a position where you are going to be able to determine whether the data you need is going to be available or even exists!

I am interested in epidemiology from a very statistical and mathematical point of view. Most projects (in my opinion) on findaphd are more biological in nature.

J

are you sure you dont want to do a straight statistics phd?

M

Do I have to attach my resume when I initially enquire about PhD's and financial aid?

Thanks for the help
