The proposed research statement is an 'intellectual' personal essay; it is where you should describe, in some detail, the specific content area in epidemiology in which you propose to focus in your doctoral work, and why this area is of interest to you. It is not intended to be as specific as a dissertation statement and will not preclude your exploring other areas during your doctoral work. The admissions committee expects that doctoral applicants have chosen a specific content area within epidemiology, and within that content area, have some specific issues in which they are interested. If appropriate, you can also discuss methodologies related to this content area.
