Dr Peterson demystifies both “big R” and “little r” research projects, describing in detail the differences between large, funded research studies and smaller QI projects, as well as mapping out the places one can disseminate their research findings. He also offers advice for those looking to participate in scholarly activity within their institution, either alone or with a collaborator.
