Tableau for Research Bootcamp (Workshop)

The Research Commons Tableau for Research Bootcamp introduces Ohio State faculty and graduate students to Tableau, a no-code, drag and drop solution for creating visually engaging and impactful data visualizations. Workshop participants will learn to:

  • Navigate the Tableau workspace and develop strategies for locating and critically evaluating freely available data;
  • Connect, shape and prepare data for the Tableau workspace;
  • Choose the most effective visual for what you are trying to show with the data you’ve collected;
  • Describe and demonstrate key concepts, including aggregation and level-of-detail, addressing and partitioning, and when to use continuous versus discrete dates; and
  • Apply visualization best practices to create impactful, engaging visualizations.

The workshop content will be delivered live, and one-on-one support will be provided for practice activities and applying the workshop material to your own research data.

Early Career Federal Funding Program Proposal Basics (Webinar)

The Research Development Office started a new program focused on significantly increasing early career research awards from federal agencies where we currently see lower than desirable numbers of proposals and awards: Department of Defense (Army, Navy, Air Force), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Department of Energy, and NASA. These agencies fund a wide range of basic and applied research spanning Natural and Mathematical Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Engineering fields, yet their early career offerings are not widely pursued by Ohio State faculty.

To encourage interest in applying for these early career opportunities, we are hosting a series of webinars directed at our early career faculty. The first one was held in January and we had approximately 60 participants. The next in the series will be held on February 29 at noon and provides an overview of proposal development basics.  The webinar will highlight several topics including overviews of: basic university proposal requirements, solicitation cycles, proposal components, budget highlights, and writing tips. Please click here to RSVP for the Early Career Federal Funding Program Proposal Basics webinar on February 29th, 12pm – 1pm.

If you are interested, but unable to attend, please reach out to Kimberlee Moore.3218 so we can add you to our growing list of early career faculty who are interested in obtaining early career federal funding. We will periodically reach out to you directly for upcoming activities of interest.

Faculty Research Mentoring Workshop

The Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) is presenting a Research Mentoring workshop December 8, 2023, from Noon to 4 PM at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Lunch will be provided.

Nationwide Children’s Hospital

Research Building 3, room WB 1110

(Specific information about location, transportation, parking will be provided to registrants)

The training is designed to help faculty who mentor early career researchers, especially junior faculty, to become more effective research and career mentors.

The  workshop uses a case-based, discussion-oriented curriculum designed by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experience in Research (CIMER). CIMER develops theoretically-grounded, evidence-based, and culturally-responsive training materials. A randomized controlled trial of this mentoring curriculum demonstrated that this training improved the skills of mentors.
