GPLL436 - Crafting a competitive doctoral scholarship application for social science & humanities

Section 1

August 28, 2020, 10:00 - 11:30, Fri

This workshop will help potential and current doctoral students to plan for and develop upcoming scholarship applications. In it, we will focus on the major federal and provincial agencies providing scholarships in research sectors related to the social sciences and humanities (SSHRC, FRQSC). A brief overview of most essential components will be provided, but strong emphasis will be given to writing tips for key sections of the application (e.g. outline of proposed research, most significant contributions). Note: Students are still ultimately responsible for ensuring their own applications conform to the instructions and standards laid out by each agency for the specific funding program(s) they ultimately select. ~~~ After attending this workshop, participants will be able to: 1. Identify appropriate funding opportunities, collect and develop all parts of the application, understand the scoring and competitive process underlying these programs. 2. Draft major sections of the application: An outline of proposed research, as well as a research contributions or most significant contributions statement. 3. Seek appropriate reviewers for each section that will be able to help improve the application. ~~~ This workshop is led by Michael Verwey, the Fellowship Development Advisor in the School of Graduate Studies at Concordia University. After completing his doctorate in the Department of Psychology at Concordia University, Michael was a postdoctoral researcher at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute and the Montreal Clinical Research Institute. In support of these research experiences, Michael has held several competitive scholarships and fellowships, from the FRQS, CIHR, NSERC, and Concordia University. More recently, Michael has continued to contribute to the development of research proposals and the management of funding competitions through his roles in the Office of the Vice-Principal (Research and Innovation) at McGill University, as the Manager of Programs at Brain Canada Foundation, and as an independent consultant for Canadian researchers.

GPLD157 - Virtual Teams and Tools

Section 1

September 12, 2020, 10:00 - 12:00, Sat

Working remotely requires new approaches to managing communication and coordinating daily activities, thus unlocking the potential to consider such transition as a process, not a fixed point in time. Grounded in the practical knowledge gained while working with geographically dispersed teams, this virtual seminar introduces graduate students to the lessons learnt from the open source communities and office-less start-ups and help apply them in the context of their own research projects. ~~~ By the end of this introductory-level seminar, students will: • Understand the significance of project management methods, platforms and other work collaboration tools to support virtual teams. • Explore best practices on managing their research and project data remotely as well as how to provision the right infrastructure. • Become familiar with types of virtual teams and techniques on leading such teams, navigating obstacles and building trust. • Learn about setting up a system for communicating with team members, including opportunities for spontaneous communication and ways to communicate tone and personality when working remotely. ~~~ Yuliya Kondratenko, PMP, PMI-ACP is a seasoned professional with eleven years of experience in the field of post-secondary education. She currently works as Manager, Operations Support at Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario. Prior to that role, Yuliya Kondratenko has worked at Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec on a number of critical projects that have laid a framework for enhancing services for Concordia students.

GPLL435 - Peer review: NSERC/FRQNT/CIHR/FRQS doctoral applications

Section 1

September 15, 2020, 10:00 - 11:30, Tue

Peer-review is the cornerstone of academic assessment and provides a useful exercise to improve projects, proposals, and papers. In this workshop, we strive to improve scholarship applications for potential and current Doctoral students at Concordia University - in the fields of natural sciences, engineering (NSERC, FRQNT), and health (CIHR, FRQS). Participants in this workshop will be expected provide 2-3 pages of text from their draft applications to drive the peer-review process (submitted ~1 week prior to the meeting), and will subsequently have 5-6 days to provide feedback on the text from 2-3 other students (written feedback ~24h before the class, and verbal feedback within the actual workshop). This exercise can be done for virtually any section of the scholarship applications but will likely be most useful for research proposals or other “contribution” statements. Note: Students are ultimately still responsible for ensuring their own applications conform to the instructions and standards laid out on by each agency for the specific funding program(s) they select. ~~~ After attending this workshop, participants will be able to: 1. Gain insight to the peer-review process and start building a network of peers that can help with the development of scholarship applications. 2. Provide respectful peer-review feedback on scholarship application materials 3. Receive constructive feedback on their own application materials, which once addressed, could help to make their applications more competitive. ~~~ This workshop is led by Michael Verwey, the Fellowship Development Advisor in the School of Graduate Studies at Concordia University. After completing his doctorate in the Department of Psychology at Concordia University, Michael was a postdoctoral researcher at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute and the Montreal Clinical Research Institute.

Section 1

October 29, 2020, 10:00 - 11:30, Thu

This workshop will help to guide students in the planning and development of Canada Graduate Scholarship applications due on December 1, 2020. Even though this is still several weeks away, these applications normally take several weeks to finalize, and requesting transcripts or asking for reference letters should also be done at least a month ahead of any hard deadline. Eligibility criteria, essential application components, as well as application development tips will also be covered. The Canada Graduate Scholarship application process is harmonized across the Tri-Agency, so applications can include research proposals in the natural sciences and engineering (NSERC), health (CIHR), or the social sciences and humanities (SSHRC). Note: Students are ultimately responsible for ensuring their own applications conform to the instructions and standards laid out on by the funding program. ~~~ After attending this workshop, participants will be able to: 1. Identify and ensure “fit” between research proposal, stage of training, and funding programs/agencies. 2. Plan for transcripts, letters of reference, and other application materials to be developed and collected to meet relevant deadlines. 3. Draft, develop, and compile a complete scholarship application, and understand that successful applications will typically involve peer-review feedback from peers and mentors (e.g. proposed research supervisor, other student scholars, lay people). ~~~ This workshop is led by Michael Verwey, the Fellowship Development Advisor in the School of Graduate Studies at Concordia University. After completing his doctorate in the Department of Psychology at Concordia University, Michael was a postdoctoral researcher at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute and the Montreal Clinical Research Institute. In support of these research experiences, Michael has held several competitive scholarships and fellowships, from the FRQS, CIHR, NSERC, and Concordia University.
