Sex as a Biological Variable in the Conduct of Research

This specialization focuses on the importance of studying sex differences and Sex as a Biological Variable (SABV). The first course addresses the gaps in understanding of physiology that resulted from research conducted only on males. The other two courses drill down into methodological questions relevant to basic science, animal, and human studies. Learning content includes a range of topics from research recruitment to accounting for hormone effects, from working with statistics to exploring machine learning in scientific research. We would like to acknowledge Richard N. Brown and his family, with many thanks, for supporting the development of this curriculum.
