³ÉÈË´óƬ this event:

The RDN is an exciting new gateway for collaboration within the Queen's research community. The RDN breaks down traditional silos on campus, facilitating interdisciplinary connections between researchers and sparking new engagements with groups in academia, industry, the media, and communities on the local, national, and international stage.

At this webinar, participants learned:

• Receive an introduction to the original use case and success of TIME's discovery network
• Learn about the benefits of the RDN for the Queen’s research community
• View a hands-on walkthrough of how to set up a researcher profile within the RDN and use the system to its fullest capacity

Join Queen’s University Research Projects Advisors and very special guest Dr. Dawn McArthur — live and in-person! â€” for this hands-on, half-day grant-writing workshop at the Donald Gordon Hotel and Conference Centre on June 10, 2022.

While participants have the option of attending virtually, in-person attendees are likely to benefit more from what the workshop has to offer. Dr. McArthur will be providing tools and strategies designed to address the start-to-finish challenges of successful research grant proposals, regardless of discipline or specific funding agency.

Both early-career and established faculty members stand to benefit from the workshop, which will be divided into the following four components:  

• Thinking: Laying the groundwork 
• Planning: Mapping the research framework & plan 
• Drafting: Finding the superstructure & translating to text
• Refining: Reviewing, reworking, crafting the style, finalizing

Following the workshop, researchers will be better prepared to find appropriate funding; interpret requests for applications; develop their research ideas, project plans, and budgets; and craft a competitive proposal.

³ÉÈË´óƬ the presenter

Dr. Dawn McArthur is Director, Research and Technology Development at , one of UBC’s four hospital-based research institutes. 

Dr. McArthur has held senior research development positions for 20+ years and has worked with researchers from all fields, from arts/design to zoology. From 1999-2003, she was a senior university grants facilitator at Simon Fraser University, working with faculty across all disciplines. 

In 2003, Dr. McArthur was recruited to BCCHR to establish and lead the Research & Technology Development Office (RTDO), with the mandate to enhance research excellence, capacity, and competitiveness of the Institute's multi-disciplinary research community and of its colleagues in women’s health. The RTDO has an exceptional record for success and has contributed to bringing in more than $550 million in external funding for researchers and the institute through salary awards, operating grants, training programs, teams/networks, and major infrastructure projects.

Dr. McArthur gives workshops and webinars in Canada and abroad on various topics related to competitive proposals and research development. Her background is in comparative physiology/energy metabolism (BSc 1st Hons, MSc, UBC; PhD, University of Alberta) and stress/obesity/diabetes (PDFs, University of Alberta and SFU). 

The invites you to attend a training session dedicated to discovering REDCap!

 is a web-based data capture tool used to create, manage, and deploy research databases and surveys. It has built-in functionalities for data importing and exporting, quality checking, reporting, and basic statistics summarization. 

This workshop will provide an overview of REDCap, demonstrations of core features, and hands-on exercises.

• In the first session, May 10, 2022 from 1:00-3:00PM, we will introduce the platform and explain the basic workflow for developing a REDCap project with multiple forms.
• In the second session, May 17, 2022 from 1:00-3:00PM, we will present a case study where participants will build their own project and deploy it as a survey study.

Registration closes May 9, 2022 at 12:00PM.
