Deciding on the research inquiry (e.g., quantitative research), method (e.g., cohort study), and approach (hybrid cohort study) stands as the cornerstone of any research endeavor. The complexity of these decisions often poses challenges for researchers, as indicated by both research findings and anecdotal experiences. This workshop is designed to empower participants with the knowledge needed to understand the process of selecting research inquiries, methods, and approaches in educational research.
This workshop will provide attendees with perspectives and insights from experienced FoMD faculty members who have established and maintained successful research programs while balancing competing academic, clinical, and personal commitments and priorities. Attendees will benefit from presenters’ collective decades of experience with strategies for success in applying for (and receiving!) research funding, publishing research in top-tier academic journals, and leading multidisciplinary research teams, big and small.
This workshop will provide attendees with practical tools and key human connections that can help you be successful with research projects. A broad panel will present on ethics, RSO and grant management, database development, research specific regulations, and training opportunities.
