Course Description

This NVivo demonstration provides an overview of the key features of NVivo software and demonstrates how it can be a powerful tool in all phases of the research process: grant writing and research proposal development, literature review, data management and analysis, and manuscript preparation. We will also show how NVivo supports the ability to collaborate with colleagues or your research team in real time.

Using data from a Duke University study of the impact of coastal environmental change on residents’ lives, we will demonstrate many of the core features of NVivo software, including its application to different types of data such as interviews, survey data, video, social media and GIS data.

Course Description

Career Development Awards (K awards) are one of the most successful NIH programs and have helped launched many productive investigator careers. Over the past 5 years, K award funding has steadily increased NIH-wide, and in 2010, overall K award success rates were 35% across all institutes. However, many investigators often miss these funding opportunities because they are not aware of the kinds of career awards available or what's expected of the trainee in securing an award.
