"The purpose of this work is to provide Post Graduate Year 1 (PGY1) and Post Graduate Year 2 (PGY2) pharmacy residents with an elementary introduction to the research process and overview of steps that should be considered when initiating a research project. For pharmacy residents, conducting a research project from start to finish is mandatory for ASHP's residency accreditation standards.

Additionally, residency programs vary nationally with respect to providing support to residents throughout the stages of the research process. This book will be a primer that pharmacy residents can turn to when they need to know how to design, start, and complete a research project successfully. By providing clear steps and even tools that can be adapted for the reader's needs, this book will remove the mystique around research and biostatistical analysis, making it accessible to all"--
