Using past case studies and a close look at the FY2027 budget process as it unfolds in real time, we'll give you the context to make sense of the news and understand what's happening to the agencies and programs that fund your work.

This webinar will highlight why it's essential to select the right research design and methodology for your study, covering the main features of each.

The webinar will also share strategies and practical advice for choosing suitable methods and combining different study elements logically to answer your research questions effectively. This webinar is part of the series: Capacity Building for Applied STEM Education and Behavioral Sciences Research.
