I'm currently enrolled in the distance education masters degree program in statistics at Texas A&M University. I'm hoping the program will help me develop skills useful in advancing my primary care research endeavors. Having a great time so far, learning a lot. I have one semester in which to take a non-statistical elective. What I'd like to learn in that semester is some of the nuts-and-bolts logistical things about running a research project: creating a budget for a grant applications, managing grant funds, hiring personnel, etc. Does anyone know of such a course, that can be taken via online/distance learning? Thanks. --Chris -- Christopher W.
