Conducting Surveys with CloudResearch Connect
Friday, October 2 (12-1 p.m.) Registration link

Interested in using online survey panels for your research? Join us for a webinar with a representative from CloudResearch Connect, a platform for recruiting survey participants. The session will cover the practical steps involved in setting up and launching studies, data quality and bot-protection features, participant sampling options, and best practices for conducting high-quality survey research. There will also be time for questions and discussion. This webinar is especially recommended for faculty considering an application to the CHESS Survey Research Fund, but all faculty interested in online survey research are welcome.

Applying for a CHESS Faculty Research Grant
Friday, October 16 (12-1 p.m.) Registration link
Tuesday, October 20 (12-1 p.m.) Registration link

Planning to apply for a 2027-28 CHESS Faculty Research Grant? Join us for an information session designed to help faculty develop competitive proposals. We will review the FRG application process, evaluation criteria, and key elements of a strong proposal. Members of last year’s review committee will share practical advice on common strengths and weaknesses they observed during the review process. Whether you are preparing your first FRG application or have a long record of research funding, this session will provide valuable guidance and an opportunity to ask questions before applications are due on December 7. We encourage all prospective applicants to attend one of the two sessions covering the same content.
