Introduces graduate students in the field of nutrition to seminal peer-reviewed papers representing common study designs in nutrition research. Teaches students how to interpret and evaluate literature in nutrition and to foster discussion and debate among students and faculty. Participating faculty select seminal papers and lead class discussions to illustrate strengths, limitations, and other qualities of the selected papers. Students are expected to read each paper and discuss in class, including explaining the rationale, methods, results, and interpretation of findings, and will similarly independently evaluate papers chosen by faculty as part of two written class assignments.
