This advanced research methods course provides cadets with in-depth education in the principles and practices of scientific research in the behavioral sciences. Cadets will further develop their research skills and mastery of the scientific method, with a focus on designing, conducting, and interpreting complex research projects. Emphasis is placed on advanced research methodologies and data analysis techniques essential for evaluating evidence and solving real-world problems relevant to military leadership and operations. Through hands-on research experience, peer collaboration, and critical analysis of current literature, cadets develop the analytical and methodological expertise necessary to lead evidence-based initiatives that enhance unit effectiveness, inform military training, and advance our understanding of human performance in military contexts.
