Feasibility and Replicability
Research is not a haphazard process
that just happens. When conducting research, you have to plan, and there is a
method for establishing this plan. Even though you are dealing with real
problems in real communities, you need to step back and consider the best way
to address the problem using rigorous methodology: identifying a problem, and
formulating a feasible and scientifically rigorous response to that problem
using research.
Valid and rigorous scientific research
first requires that a research study or intervention be feasible: Can you
actually do the study or intervention with reasonable expense in a reasonable
timeframe, given logistical and methodological concerns? The study or
intervention must also be replicable: Would other researchers be able to
replicate the study in other environments for continued research and/or to test
or corroborate your methods and findings?
To prepare for this Discussion, review
the Project Proposal you completed in PUBH 6245 and reflect on the methodology
you used to develop your project Premise. Ask yourself, Is my study feasible?
Will I be able to reasonably complete this study? Will someone else be able to
replicate my study in another environment or corroborate my methods and
findings? Do I need to make any adjustments?
