Frequently Asked Questions
The Saint Louis University Center for Health Outcomes Research provides consulting on a fee-for-service basis covering study design, data collection, database design and management, statistical analysis and interpretation.
An internal study section has been created for this purpose. Faculty who plan to submit to the internal study section must inform the Research Planning Committee via Denise Johnson, director of planning and operations for the School of Medicine, at johnsod2@slu.edu at least eight weeks prior to the grant deadline. Include a letter of intent that lists the title of the proposal, the agency targeted for submission, the submission deadline and the names of members of the study section who should act as reviewers.
The proposal must then be received by the Research Planning Committee within three weeks from the letter of intent. The committee will assign the proposal to two or three members of the study section for evaluation and will inform the applicant accordingly. Reviews will be returned to the applicant within three weeks to allow enough time (at least two weeks) for the applicant to review the feedback received, discuss the proposal further with the reviewers and amend the application as needed prior to submission.
