Research Data Series: Data Management Plans and the Grant Process
Thursday, November 18, 2021
10:00am-11:30am PT
Online Event
Data management plans (DMPs) document how data will be collected, stored, analyzed, and shared throughout a research project. Many funding agencies require DMPs as part of the grant application process. This introductory workshop will walk participants through what is typically expected of a DMP, available resources for planning and support, and provide participants an opportunity to work through a sample template of a DMP.

This workshop is co-sponsored by the UNLV Libraries and the Office of Sponsored Programs. If you have any special accommodation needs, contact Evelyn Rodriguez in advance at 702-895-4517 or [email protected].

NSHE Virtual Mentoring Institute: Practical Strategies for Inclusive Mentoring in Undergraduate Research
November 8 - 10, 2021
1:00 - 2:30 pm PDT each day

Please register by Friday, November 5, 2021.
This year’s Institute is an interactive virtual workshop series for NSHE faculty, program administrators and students at all levels, who mentor others, particularly in STEM research. Hosted by NSHE Sponsored Programs Office & EPSCoR and the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR), Practical Strategies sessions will:

  • Explore salient/best-practices in research mentoring;
  • Discuss the value of “tiered-peer mentoring” and the effectiveness of enabling students as mentors; and
  • Discover strategies that foster equity and inclusion of diverse populations in research mentoring.

This is the second annual Mentoring Institute hosted by NSHE and CUR, designed to provide resources, infrastructure and connectivity, to support research and workforce development in STEM. It’s important for each NSHE institution to have representatives in attendance who are willing and able to further foster research mentoring within their programs, departments and/or institutions. Administrative, faculty and student representation from each NSHE campus is ideal as individualized/team working sessions will be held.
