Introduction to Causal Inference and Directed Acyclic Graphs (Virtual Event)
This presentation will discuss causal inference and directed acyclic graphs. Participants will learn the difference between description, prediction, and causal inference as three distinct scientific tasks requiring distinct scientific methods. Additionally, participants will understand the main features of causal directed acyclic graphs and how they can be used to plan and interpret causal analysis and appreciate some of the challenges and implications of using directed acyclic graphs in applied research.
Role of Industry Experts Workshop
Accelerator Awards pre-proposal workshop to introduce the role of industry experts for Accelerator Awards, who they are, why are they required and suggestions for identifying and engaging them.
The Accelerator Awards program provides funding to faculty and eligible staff for technology development to accelerate the advancement of cutting-edge Ohio State innovations from the university into the marketplace, bridging the gap between academic research and market ready technologies.
Upcoming Accelerator Award pre-proposal workshops provide background information on the program and application process with a focus on the pre-proposal submission. Workshop are delivered by Caroline Crisafulli, director of entrepreneurial education in the Keenan Center.
