INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Big achievements start on small ideas. Research allows you to pursue your interests, to learn something new, to hone your problem-solving skills and to challenge yourself in new ways. Working on a faculty-initiated research project gives you the opportunity work closely with a mentor–a faculty member or other experienced researcher. With a self-initiated research project, you leave Berkeley with a product that represents the distillation of your interests and studies, and possibly, a real contribution to knowledge. (University of California, Berkeley, n.d.)
Research can help shed light on your target’s – the person or organization that wields power over your problem or question of interest – weaknesses, such as patterns of law breaking, bad behaviour, character flaws, or a laissez-faire attitude toward regulatory compliance. You can unearth this sort of information by doing some detective work; checking your target on the internet, talking with sources close to the target and, unsavoury as it may seem, going through your target’s garbage - literally (double check with your municipality laws, but most of the time once garbage is on the curb, its fair game!) The important thing here is that if you can’t find any misdeeds, bad behaviour, or old skeletons that you can “generously” share with the press, you may want to choose a different target!
Although we value knowledge creation for its own sake, the benefits of our research to the local, national and international community are numerous. Local people benefit directly from the expertise of University-trained medical professionals working in health trusts across the North West and further afield, while on an international scale, our impact is no less impressive. Major scientific advances such as Rutherford's work leading to the splitting of the atom and the development of the world's first modern computer put us at the forefront of innovation.
