The RDS (Research Design Studio), an initiative to help support research efforts in the Teachers College, is now being hosted by the CTE in the iStudio. The mission of RDS is to work with faculty and graduate students to help generate and refine research ideas and methods in order to aid in the publication process. More particularly, RDS provides the following services:
• Assistance in establishing high-quality research design for research and evaluation projects
• Guidance in developing grant proposals that will meet the expectations for high quality research design
• Support in determining the most appropriate instruments and measures for examining your research questions
• Training in developing a research program for junior scholars or senior faculty seeking to branch into new domains of inquiry
• Support in establishing collaborative groups within and beyond the university
RDS is supported by faculty fellows and graduate students with expertise in a broad array of research design and statistical methods. The fellows are willing to give of their time and expertise to anyone who seeks assistance. Schedule an appointment with RDS now!
By utilizing graduate Research Fellows RDS provides doctoral students with experience supporting colleagues in research efforts. Most students currently serving with the RDS are doctoral candidates in Educational Psychology, a field with a strong focus on research methodology and statistical analyses. Most requests for support will primarily involve a GA with a faculty member supporting as needed.
