Bio
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.

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.
