This document provides an agenda and overview for an introductory research methods course. It discusses key aspects of graduate level research including conducting literature reviews, selecting research topics, common literature review errors, and strategies for managing research. The document emphasizes building research skills through evaluating sources, relating findings to one's own study, considering contrary evidence, and presenting information analytically. It also provides tips on using library databases and citation management tools to efficiently search for and organize scholarly sources.
This document summarizes and provides examples of five qualitative research approaches: narrative study, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case study. For each approach, a sample study is described that illustrates the key features and analytical process. The narrative study examines the experiences of a Chinese immigrant student. The phenomenology explores the lived experiences of individuals with AIDS. The grounded theory builds a theoretical model to explain physical activity among African American women. The ethnography analyzes how British Pakistani and Bangladeshi young men make sense of social and cultural exclusions. Finally, the case study provides an in-depth understanding of practices used by a teacher with students experiencing school failure.
Considerations in Applying for a K99 Award: the NIH "Pathway to Independence"...UCLA CTSI
This document provides information about the K99/R00 Career Transition Award program from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The K99 phase provides 1-2 years of mentored support for postdoctoral researchers, while the R00 phase provides 1-3 years of independent research support contingent on securing an independent research position. Eligible candidates must have a terminal degree and no more than 4 years of postdoctoral experience. The program aims to support highly motivated researchers in transitioning to independent research careers through a period of mentored research followed by independent funding.
This document summarizes a scoping review on PhD candidates' information use in knowledge creation. The review aimed to understand PhD students' information behavior and use. It searched multiple databases and included 55 sources published after 1990 in English or Scandinavian languages. The review found that PhD students display disciplinary differences in information searching and citation practices. It also found that while PhD students feel confident searching, they could benefit from training on evaluating information and understanding publishing/citation metrics. The review concluded that libraries should tailor instruction to PhD students' independent nature and the literature review process. It identified gaps around plagiarism and copyright issues.
This document proposes a multidimensional model for evaluating scientists that moves beyond reliance on publications and citations. It discusses limitations of current metrics-based systems and threats they pose. A conceptual framework is presented incorporating dimensions like scientific engagement, social impact, and open practices. A research design is outlined using archetypal analysis to characterize profiles of 228 scientists across fields. Preliminary results identify 4 archetypes in each field reflecting differences in collaboration, career stage and open access. The study aims to develop a more balanced approach to research assessment accounting for a diversity of contributions.

The document discusses outputs from three workshops focused on developing new approaches for the UK Government's Science and Society Programme. The workshops addressed education and workforce, public perceptions, and public input. Each generated potential activities to address aims of empowering informed citizens, inspiring students to pursue STEM, building public trust in science, and enhancing policy debates with public engagement and evidence. A discussion document was created to review, comment on, and prioritize the ideas to inform future programme development.
This document discusses a first year seminar workshop on critical information literacy. It notes that first year students often have inefficient search strategies and feel overwhelmed by irrelevant search results when transitioning from high school to college libraries. The workshop teaches students that research is an iterative process that requires persistence and flexibility to find relevant information across the large number of books, journals, and databases available in a college library. It also discusses how subject headings in libraries have changed over time to be more inclusive on topics like homosexuality.
The document summarizes key points from the book "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. It discusses how successful people are often outliers who received opportunities they did not create through birth advantages like timing and family legacy. The 10,000 hour rule is mentioned, where mastery takes extensive practice over many years. Examples are given of celebrities and technology pioneers who achieved success later in life after extensive experience in their fields.

Chapter 17 science , the environment and societyRay Brannon
This document discusses the interactions between science and society in three paragraphs:
1) It examines how social factors like funding, policies, and competition can influence what research is pursued, despite the ideal that science follows objective evidence.
2) It explores the concept of "boundary work" where scientists debate the legitimacy of certain theories, like discussions around evolution versus creationism.
3) It discusses how the prestige of researchers can impact which studies gain more attention through the "Matthew effect", and how scientific facts are socially constructed through debate and disagreements between scientists.
The document discusses factors beyond innate talent that contribute to success, as explored in Malcolm Gladwell's book "Outliers". It summarizes that outliers benefit from advantageous circumstances like birth order affecting sports selection, access to computers shaping Bill Gates' career, and cultural legacies from rice farming improving math skills. The key idea is that success is predictable and comes down more to preparing and maximizing opportunities, not just raw talent alone. Ten thousand hours of practice is cited as important for expertise in most fields.
This is a powerpoint presentation of Malcom Gladwell's book "Outliers". This book epitomizes story of success of various famous personalities. It analyzes various reasons and circumstances that propelled them to achieve great heights in their careers.

Counternarratives and HBCU Student Success - NASPA 3.24.15saUGA411
A presentation by student affairs scholar practitioners that highlights the work done on a mixed methods research study exploring student success at HBCUs.
Historical research involves collecting and analyzing primary and secondary sources to understand past events and apply lessons to the present or future. It can test hypotheses and help explain trends over time. Key steps include defining a problem, formulating questions, systematically collecting data from sources like documents, interviews, or archives, evaluating the data, and presenting interpretations. Researchers must consider the authenticity, accuracy, and potential biases of sources. While historical research provides a rich source of information, it also has limitations like inability to ensure sample representativeness or check reliability.
This document provides background and objectives for creating a LibGuide to support qualitative researchers in the health sciences. It notes an increasing interest in and use of qualitative research methods but challenges in finding relevant materials due to poor indexing, unfamiliar terminology, and lack of knowledge about social science resources.

Study designs 2.pptx community health nursing 2akoeljames8543
This document discusses various study designs used in research. It defines key terms like case studies, phenomenological studies, action research, and historical studies. It explains that choice of study design depends on research questions, goals, beliefs, skills, time and funds. Study designs can be qualitative or quantitative, with quantitative divided into observational (basic, hybrid, incomplete) and experimental designs. Observational designs include preliminary, basic, hybrid and quasi-experimental. The document also discusses advantages and disadvantages of qualitative and quantitative research.
This document summarizes a study on community engagement in translational research. It found that while faculty and community partners generally agreed on the benefits of community engagement, there were some differences in attitudes around timelines and resource allocation. Both groups saw a need for more faculty training, particularly in cultural competency, community dialogue skills, and power sharing. The study was limited by its sampling methods but implications include using experienced faculty as mentors and addressing gaps in expectations between researchers and partners.

Resort Management is the comprehensive and strategic oversight of all operations within a resort property, aimed at delivering exceptional guest experiences and maximizing profitability. It involves the efficient coordination of various departments, including accommodations, food and beverage, recreational facilities, guest services, and administration.
A successful resort management team ensures that all aspects of the resort are functioning seamlessly to create a welcoming and enjoyable environment for guests. This includes maintaining the highest standards of customer service, implementing effective marketing and sales strategies, managing reservations and bookings, coordinating housekeeping and maintenance services, and overseeing financial operations.
Resort managers are responsible for setting the overall vision and direction of the property, developing strategic plans to attract and retain guests, and ensuring that the resort meets or exceeds guest expectations. They work closely with department heads and staff to provide ongoing training and guidance, fostering a culture of exceptional service and professionalism.
In addition to guest satisfaction, resort management also focuses on financial performance. Managers are responsible for budgeting, cost control, and revenue management to optimize profitability. They analyze market trends, monitor competitors, and make informed decisions to drive revenue growth and operational efficiency.
Resort management also involves maintaining and enhancing the resort's physical infrastructure, including buildings, landscapes, and amenities. This includes regular maintenance, renovations, and upgrades to ensure a visually appealing and well-maintained property.
Furthermore, resort managers must stay abreast of industry trends, technological advancements, and evolving guest preferences. They leverage this knowledge to implement innovative practices, adopt sustainable initiatives, and deliver unique experiences that set their resort apart from competitors.

The document discusses the three Ayurvedic doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha - and their relation to the five elements. Vata is associated with air and ether and people with a Vata imbalance experience anxiety and fatigue. Pitta relates to fire and those with excess Pitta may feel irritable and have mood fluctuations. Kapha is connected to earth and imbalanced Kapha can lead to sluggishness and laziness. The doshas are normally located in specific parts of the body - Vata in the colon, Pitta in the small intestine, and Kapha in the stomach and lungs. Certain foods can help balance each dosha.
This document provides an overview of Indian culinary history and cuisine. It describes the foods eaten in ancient civilizations like the Indus Valley and during Vedic times, including grains like wheat, barley and rice.

The document also gives brief introductions to the cuisines of various Indian states and highlights some popular dishes.
This document discusses different types of commercial and on-premises hotel laundries. It describes the key differences between commercial and on-premises laundries, including that commercial laundries cater to hotels on a contract basis and return linen within 24-48 hours, while on-premises laundries are located on the hotel property and can return linen within 8 hours for better control and stock management. The document also provides details on planning and setting up an on-premises laundry, the various equipment used, and the multi-step laundry process from pre-washing to finishing.
The document discusses organizational structure and design. It defines organizational structure as how interrelated groups within an organization are arranged, with a focus on effective communication and coordination. The document then examines formal and informal organizational structures and charts, as well as the factors that influence organizational design both internally such as leadership, communication and mission, and externally such as size, life cycle, strategy and environment. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of formal and informal structures.
The document outlines the key concepts and steps of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), a systematic preventative approach to food safety. It discusses hazards like biological, chemical and physical contaminants that can cause foodborne illness. The 7 steps of HACCP are described, including identifying hazards and critical control points in food production processes. Monitoring procedures, corrective actions, and record keeping are important aspects of ensuring food safety through the HACCP system. The overall goal of HACCP is to anticipate and prevent risks of food contamination before they occur.
The document provides information on Kashmiri cuisine including its history and food habits. It notes that Kashmiri cuisine is divided into Kashmiri Pandit cooking and Kashmiri Muslim cooking.

4. golden rules of peeradjudicated grantmaking
•The process is objective. It does not matter
whether you have friends or colleagues on
selection committees.
•The process is not random. It is not a form of
lottery.
•Winning proposals are not selected.
– weaker proposals are eliminated from the
competition – the winners are those that remain.
5. The ‘rules of the game’
perpetuate the Matthew
Effect
“Unto he that hath shall be given.
From he that hath not shall be
taken away”
i.e. the funding mechanism obeys
a law of accumulated advantage
6. Scoring formula
• Regular scholar
– Record of achievement 60%
– Research Program 40%
• New scholar
– Whichever is higher:
• Record of achievement 60%, research program 40%
• Record of achievement 40%, research program 60%
7. Research achievement
• evaluation of the record of research
achievement is based primarily on
contributions to research the applicant has
made within the last six years
• if the applicant's research career has been
interrupted, research achievement is
evaluated based on his or her most recent
period of research activity.
• For regular scholars, applicant's five most
significant contributions are taken into
account in order to accurately situate the
most recent six years in the context of the
applicant's overall career.

8. Research achievement
Research contributions include:
• refereed publications, including books, chapters of books and
articles;
• book reviews by the applicant/co-applicant or published
reviews of his/her work;
• research reports, papers presented at scholarly meetings or
conferences, and other forms of written scholarly expression
or participation in public discourse and debate which
constitute a contribution to research;
• where appropriate, contributions to the training of future
researchers, including the supervision of graduate theses
and/or the involvement of students in research activities;
• research results from previous research grants, other awards
from SSHRC or other sources;
• academic awards and distinctions-new scholars may include
scholarships and fellowships
Source: SSHRC SRG Program Manual for Adjudication Committee Members, Dec. 2001
9. Research achievement
Evaluation criteria:
• quality and significance of published work (taking
into consideration the quality of the chosen
publication venues);
• originality of previous research and its impact on
the discipline or field;
• quantity of research activity relative to the stage
of the applicant's career;
• demonstrated importance of other scholarly
activities and contributions;
• recentness of output (taking into account the
nature of the applicant's career pattern and
previous non-research responsibilities);
Source: SSHRC SRG Program Manual for Adjudication Committee Members, Dec. 2001
10. Research achievement
Evaluation criteria:
• importance and relevance of dissemination of
research results to non-academic audiences (as
appropriate);
• significance of any previous research supported
by SSHRC or any other agency;
• where applicable, contribution to the training of
future researchers. (The committee must make
allowances for applicants who have not supervised
graduate students simply because their university
does not offer graduate programs.)
• efforts made, where appropriate, to develop
research partnerships with civil society
organizations and government departments.
Source: SSHRC SRG Program Manual for Adjudication Committee Members, Dec. 2001
12. Research program: one or

18. Some common errors
• Theoretical framework weak or insufficiently
explained
• Methodology weak or insufficiently explained
• A project is extended over 3 years to make it look
like a program
• Budget is padded or poorly formulated
• Padding of CV
• “me too” proposals
– SSHRC funded research like this last year
– Another research project in already worked-over area
• Implausible teams
19. Some common errors
• Failure to respect page limits (6 pages means
5.75-6 pages – 6.1 pages is no good)
• Include literature review or information
compilation as research
• Grad students’ roles not consistent with
research program flow and objectives
• In a resubmission, failure to take into
account the views of the committee and the
external assessors
• Ultra cartesian or ultra baconian research
designs
20. Risky storylines
• “I’m Too Important to Submit a Fully
Worked-out Research Proposal – my
record speaks for itself”
– Variant: “We’re a team of Very High
Profile Researchers. Our collective
Research Achievement is off your scale”
• “The fate of the world hangs on the
outcome of my project”
21. Risky storylines
• “My colleague got a grant last year to work on hamsters,
so I will work on hamsters also”
• “It would please God if this proposal were funded”
• “My research results will overturn all established
theories”
• “The Minister mentioned that this would make a great
research project”
• “Because of the proliferation of incommensurable
discourses in late postmodernity, you cannot understand
what I am saying and I cannot understand my
respondents, but I will study them anyway if you pay for
it”
22. A typical 3-year program
• Year 0: literature review completed;
methods and instruments selected;
preliminary hypotheses formulated
• Year 1: refine instruments and hypotheses
through qualitative research (focus groups,
grounded theory, etc.). Test instruments
• Year 2: apply instruments for data gathering
• Year 3: analysis, interpretation, modeling,
dissemination of results
23. Common winning formulas for
new scholars
• New scholar with good track record
extends doctoral research via 3-year
program
– Watch out. If the proposed research is too
close to the doctoral research, it will be
regarded as derivative. If it is too far
away, it will be regarded as too bold.
– The most successful ones have published
several articles (often with their PhD
supervisor) before applying for a first
grant
24. Common winning formulas for
new scholars
• New scholar as PI with established
scholar as co-investigator with
specified roles
– The co-investigator brings up the
“research achievement” score in
proportion to his/her role in the project
25. Budgeting tricks and traps
• the committee may reduce your
requested budget.
• It is good to ask for money for grad
student stipends – build grad students
into your program
– Note: It is best to use doctoral students.
In regional universities it is OK to use
master’s students. If you use undergrads,
make sure you have a good reason.
26. Budgeting tricks and traps
• Do NOT request conference travel money in
Year 1.
– Hint: OK to request modest funds for grad
student travel to conferences, if they present.
• Do NOT inflate travel cost estimates.
– it is permissible to include travel costs of work
with research collaborators, but not
collaborators’ research costs
• Note that research travel costs include
dissemination costs, which are also
calculated separately
27. Budgeting tricks and traps
• Do NOT request funds for computers
unless computers are clearly necessary
for the research and they are
unavailable through the university
– OK to ask for laptops for field research
• NEVER ask for funding for less than
three years
28. Budgeting tricks and traps
• Research Time Stipends are only available if the
home university contributes one-to-one matched
funding
• Do NOT request funds for books. SSHRC does not
like to pay for books.
• Be CAREFUL if you request funds for
consultancies – this is thin ice
• NOTE THAT once the budget is approved, SSHRC
says that you can spend your grant however you
like – but your University controllers do not
necessarily know this.
– At any rate, you cannot pay yourself an honorarium.
29. Budgeting tricks and traps
• See SSHRC’s list of ineligible items. It
includes: training, purchase or rental
of standard office equipment,
preparation of teaching materials,
entertainment and hospitality costs,
research leading to a degree, fees and
honoraria to colleagues, indirect or
overhead costs, etc.
• ALWAYS include a clear explanatory
budgetary note
