What is Scholarly Activity?The term “scholarly activity” refers to:
Research that contributes to knowledge and meets standards of good research, i.e. objective, rigorous, careful, thorough, ethical
Creative endeavors that contribute to knowledge of one’s discipline
Dissemination of new knowledge
It includes creative activities in the arts, as well as basic and applied studies in the physical, natural and social sciences that lead to new knowledge and understanding and the transmission of this new knowledge to others
Examples of scholarly activities:
Writing and publishing books and articles
Basic, clinical, health services, survey, or policy research
Obtaining additional appropriate academic and/or professional qualifications such as a masters or PhD
Presenting papers for scholarly conferences
Demonstrating professional leadership by organizing conferences or workshops

Research -
How can I
possibly do this?
Challenges exist…..
• Time
• Knowledge
• Cost
• Others?
How is it possible to balance research and other aspects of career and life?
Many Types of Research
Basic Research: Examines fundamental questions in the biology or pathogenesis of a phenomenon, process or disease. Often conducted in controlled, laboratory settings.
Clinical Research: Often defined as research conducted with human subjects and utilizes both a randomized selection process and a control group (RCT). It actually includes any research that involves interaction with human subjects in any way and is designed to change human behavior or outcomes. Conducted in many settings.
Clinical Trials: Determines whether interventions are both safe and effective for changing outcomes in humans. Uses existing knowledge gained from basic research or practical experience to create new or improved products, processes, or practices. Generally use RCT. Conducted in four phases.
Research Types continued
Epidemiological Research: The study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states, disease, and events in populations and the application of this study to the control of health problems. Who gets diseases, why, and determinants of risk.
Health Services: Examines healthcare needs and the provision and use of health services. It is a multi-disciplinary field that examines access, utilization patterns, costs, patient and provider relationships, social and behavioral epidemiology, quality, delivery, organization, financing and outcomes of health care services.
Policy Analysis, Evaluation Research, Clinical Translational Research, Analysis of Secondary Data, Others
