Description: This 1-hour interactive workshop welcomes faculty to explore the PICOT framework, a practical and flexible tool for crafting clear, evidence-based research questions. While widely used in healthcare, PICOT (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Time) is equally valuable in education, business, the social sciences, and beyond. You will learn how PICOT leads to evidence-based clinical decision-making, program development, and practice improvement across diverse professional settings. Through guided examples and activities, Participants will build the skills to formulate clear, focused research questions that inform evidence-based inquiry and outcomes that are relevant, actionable, and timely.

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

1. Identify the five elements of the PICOT framework: Population, Intervention/Issue, Comparison, Outcome, and Time.

2. Analyze the clarity and structure of research questions using the PICOT framework.

3. Apply the PICOT framework to develop focused research questions addressing real-world challenges in various fields.

4. Evaluate research questions for alignment with evidence-based priorities and professional relevance.
