We reported to an independent SAB made up of four scientists who were nominated by the stakeholders and appointed by the University of Michigan, with membership based on independence, qualifications in research relevant to dioxin issues, and scientific stature.
However, a systematic review examining factors which determine the application of research evidence by allied health professionals, identified level of academic qualification, involvement in research and practitioners attitudes and beliefs about evidence based practice as significant predictors of the use of research evidence in practice [ 23].
Both approaches provide different benefits and drawbacks that imply their qualification for specific applications in research [28, 30].
In some cases, this may be a reflection of the prestige attached to academic titles and the associated benefit it may provide in progressing through a hierarchical system or better salary, whilst in others it is simply a qualification for a career in research.
In conjunction with University of Exeter Medical School, WEM also run a Masters in Extreme Medicine which may be of interest to those looking to pursue a formal qualification or research in this area.
Specifically, this may include strategies to foster the attainment of research-related qualifications and promote general interest in research among individual clinicians or groups of clinicians.
I've tried reformatting my CV, but even after I remove my conference papers, publications, awards and prizes, I still have three degrees and a teaching qualification, and my last six jobs are in research and teaching.
The independent variables that significantly predicted engagement in research were highest qualification obtained (p <.001), current position classification level (p =.037) and overall interest in research (p =.026) (Table 3).
If the proposal involved a genetic study, the PIs were required to have a qualification in the ethics of genetic research by Human Research Act of Taiwan.
Research engagement was predicted by highest qualification obtained, current job classification level and overall interest in research.
