Applied Research Project Proposal Summary (Word, 60 Kb)The Applied Research Self-Study course (Q123) has been developed by the NFA to provide you with specific skills that will be critical to successful completion of the research component of the Executive Development course and the four Applied Research Projects (ARPs) required in the EFOP. In an effort to minimize the classroom time required to address the basic aspects of the ARP process and procedures, Q123 must be successfully completed prior to your attendance at the Executive Development course. A minimum score of 70 percent on the final exam is required for successful completion of Q123. Students who do not achieve the required minimum score may perform remedial study and retest. Students enrolled in Executive Development who arrive at NFA without having successfully completing Q123 may be dismissed from the class and the EFOP, as this course is a mandatory pre-requisite. Q123 is available at NFA Online.
