Tableau and Surveys Bootcamp (Workshop)

Workshop level: Intermediate

The Research Commons Tableau and Surveys bootcamp follows the Tableau for Research workshops and bootcamps presented earlier this academic year. This workshop will help Ohio State faculty and graduate students:

  1. Organize and prepare survey data to efficiently and effectively analyze responses.
  2. Create engaging visuals summarizing demographic survey data;
  3. Explore strategies to present matrix question responses on one visual;
  4. Visualize open response or qualitative data.

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.

Questions? Email the Research Commons at researchcommons@osu.edu

Due to space limitations, this workshop is limited to 15 participants.

Introduction to the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy (Virtual Event)

Do you have an upcoming NIH proposal due? Join us to learn about the newly implemented NIH Data Management and Sharing (DMS) policy, including the requirement to submit a DMS plan with all new applications and renewals. Compliance with the submitted and accepted plan will be assessed, and non-compliance can impact future funding.

This informational session will provide an introduction to the policy, an overview of tools and resources provided by Ohio State to help you, and preliminary feedback from select Institutes and Centers about submitted plans.

Topics to be covered include:

  • How the DMPTool can help you address the required elements of a DMS plan
  • Tips for identifying a suitable repository
  • Guidance on how to budget for data-related costs

This workshop is ideal for researchers who currently receive NIH funding or may apply in the future, as well as staff who support NIH-funded researchers. This session is scheduled for 90 minutes to allow ample time for attendee questions.

Can’t make the workshop?  Check out the NIH DMS Policy Guide for the latest updates, including the slides from this session.

The Birth-to-Five Policy Landscape: Improving the safety net for our children and their caregivers

Join the Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy and the John Glenn College of Public Affairs for a special, in-person only, policy chat featuring Dr. Lauren Jones.
Dr. Lauren Jones will discuss important federal and state policy tools aimed at improving the well-being of children and their caregivers, including the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, subsidized child care, child care regulation and quality. The discussion will highlight current issues and opportunities in this policy space, research on the impact of the programs, and how the Crane Center’s policy team is engaging with states to inform research-based policy-making to benefit our youngest citizens and those who care for them.
What to expect: Crane Policy Chats provide opportunities to discuss and learn about policy issues in early childhood. Hosted by Jamie O’Leary, Crane’s associate director of policy and external affairs, these conversations feature guests who share insights, research, and expertise in a conversational format that resembles a podcast. Participants have ample opportunity to offer comments, ask questions, and consider ways they can apply insights or lessons.
Parking: The closest parking is nearby at the Ohio Union South Garage.

EDU Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Workshop (Zoom)

The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. Activities pursued by early-career faculty should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research. NSF encourages submission of CAREER proposals from early-career faculty at all CAREER-eligible organizations and especially encourages women, members of underrepresented populations, and persons with disabilities to apply.

EVENT: The workshop is intended to provide guidance and mentorship to prospective CAREER applicants to the NSF Directorate for STEM Education. It will serve as an opportunity for participants to gain a better understanding of the program, including eligibility requirements, the application process, and outcomes of past CAREER awardees, and for participants to interact with other applicants, former awardees, and NSF program officers.

Dr. Douglas Harris

Douglas Harris is Professor and Chair of the Department of Economics, the Schlieder Foundation Chair in Public Education, founding Director of both the Education Research Alliance for New Orleans (ERA-New Orleans) and Director of the National Center for Research on Education Access and Choice (REACH), all at Tulane University. His research has influenced policy and practice on a wide variety of K-12 and higher education policy issues. He is the author of three books including, most recently, Charter School City: What the End of Traditional Public Schools in New Orleans Means for American Education (University of Chicago Press, 2020). He is also a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and has testified in the U.S. Senate and advised governors in eight states, the U.S. Department of Education, and Biden Transition. His work has also been cited in almost every major national and international media outlet.

In his most recent work, he is the lead editor on the forthcoming Live Handbook of Education Policy, sponsored by the Association for Education Finance and Policy. The handbook will provide open-access summaries of a wide variety of topics in pre-K, K-12, and higher education, written by leading experts but in a way that will be broadly accessible and regularly updated with the latest research. The Live Handbook, to be released in March of 2025, will provide a new way of communicating and interacting with scientific research, one that combines academic expertise with modern online tools such as Wikipedia.

Finally, he is Director of the State of the Nation Project. The project is designed to address current problems of polarization, distrust, pessimism, and misinformation by bringing together a diverse board of experts to identify the most important measures that address the question, how are we doing as a country? Slated for release in January of 20205, the project’s first report will cover topics ranging from education and the economy to the environment and health.
