Workshops & Consultations

Throughout the year, the CFDE hosts and presents multiple workshops, presentations, and opportunities for individual consultations with key professionals in scholarly publishing, funding organizations, and other areas of expertise in research and scholarship.

These offerings are a powerful way to help get your work into publication and receive advice and feedback on your grant applications and book proposals. Watch this area of the website for dates and details for such events throughout the year.  

Building Safe and Inclusive Research Environments

Monday, April 15 | 1 - 3 p.m. | Zoom
Traditionally, academic research environments have been built on differential power structures with supervisors holding power, while trainees, students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career professionals hold little. These power structures have served as a means for sexual harassment, and other forms of harming behavior to thrive. Research shows that with intentionality, the academy can create research spaces that are safe, supportive, and inclusive for all researchers. In this workshop, Carol E. Colaninno will review frameworks and evidence-based practices that can transfer research environments to be safe and inclusive.

Tips from the Other Side of the Peer-Review Process

Help Get Your Scientific Manuscript Published

Please join us as Bruce G. Weniger, adjunct associate professor in Rollins School of Public Health, presents Tips for the Other Side of the Peer-Review Process. To paraphrase Churchill, the peer-review process is a most flawed and imperfect filter to achieve publication, but it beats the alternatives. This two-part presentation provides tips, examples, and anecdotes from the past experience of a journal editor (Elsevier’s Vaccine) to ease the burden and overcome the skepticism of busy, volunteer peer reviewers who must use both conscious criteria and subjective, often unconscious intuition to judge the worthiness for publication of your work using only the manuscript and revision cover letters provided them.
