Events

A focused session highlighting federal, foundation, and capacity-building opportunities to strengthen research infrastructure, student engagement, institutional partnerships, and innovation at HBCUs. Presenter(s): Jehnae Linkins, Shadei Laird Register

Mixed Methods Research Design and Analysis, Part II builds on the foundational concepts introduced in Part I (July 23) by again reviewing mixed methods research and the rationale for using multiple approaches. It also guides participants through a real-world example of the convergent parallel design. This section also covers data collection and analysis, along with important considerations and potential challenges of these designs. This webinar is part of the series: Capacity Building for Applied STEM Education and Behavioral Sciences Research. Presenter(s): Toni Dancstep, Toya Frank, Naomi Hall-Byers, Tori Smith. Register

Jumping off a previous webinar on using the NSF resources for proposal preparation, this webinar delves into how to use the available resources from NSF for award management. This webinar is part of a series on NSF policies, guidelines, and review processes. Presenter(s): Sharmini Pitter Boghos and Jennifer Riehl Register

Outcomes and Evaluation in Research Proposals and Projects provides information on common types of outcomes in research, effective approaches to evaluation of outcomes, and distinguishing differences between research and evaluation. This webinar will assist researchers in developing rigorous, evidence-based plans for assessing clear, specific, measurable outcomes to determine the extent to which project goals are achieved. This webinar is part of the series: Capacity Building for Applied STEM Education and Behavioral Sciences Research. Presenter(s): Toni Dancstep, Toya Frank, Naomi Hall-Byers, and Tori Smith Register

Finding Non-federal Funding Opportunities that Align with Your Research Agenda explores strategies for identifying and securing non-federal funding opportunities that align with your research agenda in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing federal funding landscape. The presentation will highlight alternative pathways such as philanthropic foundations, state-level agencies, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations. Participants will learn practical approaches for matching their research interests with funder priorities while maintaining the integrity and impact of their work. The session will also include tips for building sustainable funding pipelines and positioning research for broader community and institutional support. This webinar is part of the series: Capacity Building for Applied STEM Education and Behavioral Sciences Research. Presenter(s): Toni Dancstep, Toya Frank, Naomi Hall-Byers, and Tori Smith. Register

Following a previous webinar on the basics of using the NSF resources for award management, this webinar delves into other post-award requirements and considerations addressed in Part II of the PAPPG including recipient standards and award disputes. This webinar is part of a series of webinars addressing how to navigate resources available from NSF from proposal preparation to awards management. Presenter (s): Sharmini Pitter Boghos and Jennifer Riehl Register

Funding opportunities for Research Infrastructure Building explores funding opportunities that help institutions build the research infrastructure necessary to advance research and education goals. This webinar will include aspects of research infrastructure such as IRB review, data collection and analysis platforms that work across multiple institutions, and data storage approaches, as well as physical infrastructure, given that many funding opportunities limit or disallow equipment expenditures. Presenters will share opportunities and lessons learned to enhance research capacity through infrastructure. This webinar is part of the series: Capacity Building for Applied STEM Education and Behavioral Sciences Research. Presenter(s): Toni Dancstep, Toya Frank, Naomi Hall-Byers, and Tori Smith. Register

Series Recap and Discussion: Writing a Compelling Research Proposal for Funding Join us for the culminating session of the Capacity Building for Applied STEM Education & Behavioral Sciences Research series. This interactive session will provide a brief recap of the initial guiding webinar from the series—Writing a Compelling Research Proposal for Funding—followed by facilitated breakout rooms to answer your most urgent questions and delve into discussion to learn together. Breakout groups will respond to participants' interests, focusing on topics for improving researching capacity and proposals by: Leveraging collaborations; Harnessing literature; Aligning research questions and methods; Establishing outcomes and evaluation; and/or Finding funding opportunities. Presenter(s): Toni Dancstep, Toya Frank, Naomi Hall-Byers, and Tori Smith Register
