Getting Started: How to Fund, Launch, and Collaborate on a Research Project
1Description: Getting started with a research project can be incredibly challenging and involves a lot of moving parts — coming up with an idea or set of questions, developing a relevant and rigorous research design, and securing funding sources to name a few. During this roundtable, we will share our experiences navigating these stepping stones in our own research to jumpstart a help and feedback loop within our own DMLCommons community.
Structure: During the live webinar, facilitators and invited participants will discuss their experiences getting started with research. The DMLCommons community can add notes, questions, and relevant resources for the discussion in the shared Etherpad. After the webinar, we will compile these resources and link them permanently to the unit page for future reference.
Research Hackathon Prep: After the kick-off event, we invite all participants to submit their research ideas, questions, or road bumps into the Etherpadbefore the live Hackathon on April 14. We will host another live event on that date with our facilitators to begin tackling these prompts and crowdsource help and feedback.
Facilitators: Cassidy Puckett, Matt Rafalow, Adar Ben-Eliyahu
