CARMA Consortium Advanced Training in Research Methods
The CARMA Consortium Webcast Program is established to provide university faculty, graduate students, and other researchers with advanced training in research methods and data analysis. To participate in this training, a university becomes a member of the CARMA Consortium Webcast Program. For a university that is a member of the 2008-2009 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program, all faculty and students are eligible to view a series of ten lectures per program year by nationally recognized methodologists, with each lecture delivered live (with video and audio) over the internet. These lectures are targeted for an advanced doctoral student level and will typically include an introduction to the topic as well as a consideration of current technical issues. Emphasis is placed on the application of the research method technique. Prior to each lecture, background readings references and PowerPoint slides for the presentation will be available on the CARMA website.
