According to Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Liem, a study that lacks a feasible research question and clear objectives will find it difficult to create real value, even when substantial resources are invested or advanced techniques are employed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2415 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-72-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-72-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-72-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-72-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-72-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-72-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his main presentation, Prof. Liem introduced the FINER framework (Feasible, Interesting, Novel, Ethical, Relevant) as essential criteria for evaluating the quality of a research question before developing a project. Drawing from landmark discoveries in medical science\u2014such as the identification of <em>Helicobacter pylori<\/em> as the cause of gastritis, the development of penicillin, CAR-T cell therapy, and breakthroughs in stem cell research, he illustrated how transformative scientific advancements often originate from very simple, everyday observations. He also discussed how to narrow a broad idea into an actionable research question through identifying areas of interest, reviewing the literature, locating knowledge gaps, and refining the question into something specific, clear, and testable.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2416 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-103-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-103-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-103-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-103-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-103-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-103-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Q&amp;A session was lively, with students, clinicians, and young researchers raising questions about uncertainty in research, differences between practice-driven and theory-driven questions, and how to balance scientific curiosity with real-world constraints such as time and resources. Other key questions relating to predicting research outcomes, identifying research gaps, choosing between frameworks like FINER and PICOT, and strategies for translating theoretical ideas into practical studies also received significant attention. Prof. Liem emphasized that uncertainty is inherent to science, but a strong research question serves as the compass that determines the quality and direction of the entire research journey.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2411 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-112-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-112-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-112-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-112-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-112-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vinuni.edu.vn\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GLAD-112-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The seminar concluded on an inspiring note, offering motivation and clarity for young researchers at VinUni as they continue to pursue meaningful research questions and long-term scientific impact.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Every Strong Study Begins with the Right Question &nbsp; On the morning of November 22, 2025, under the coordination of Dr. Phung Thi Viet Bac and Dr. Than Thi Trang Uyen, VinUniversity successfully organized the seminar \u201cNurturing Your Research Question\u201d, attracting faculty members, researchers, and students interested in research methodology.
