Travel Grants




The first round of GPSC Travel Grant applications for this academic year will open on September 1st! (Closing October 1, 2018.)

GPSC is excited to debut a new application platform, as well as updated review criteria that we hope will make both applying for and reviewing applications simpler and faster. As a reminder, any U of A graduate or professional student can apply for funding to cover travel for professional development purposes that will occur in the same fiscal year as your application.

Conducted fieldwork in late July 2018? You can apply for funding this round!

If you have applied for travel grants in the past, and are planning to apply again in September, we recommend giving yourself some extra time to familiarize yourself with the new platform and evaluation rubric before preparing your application. First time applicants may wish to reach out to gpscfunding at email.arizona.edu<mailto:gpscfunding at email.arizona.edu> with any questions or concerns about the application process.



We are also looking for judges to evaluate travel grant applications! Serving as a judge allows you to obtain an insider’s perspective on the grant evaluation process—this, in turn can make your own applications for the GPSC and other grants more competitive! Travel grants judging also adds a valuable service/volunteer line to your CV or résumé. If you are interested in serving as a travel grants judge, please email gpscfunding at email.arizona.edu<mailto:gpscfunding at email.arizona.edu>.

Please check the GPSC Travel grants website (https://gpsc.arizona.edu/travel-grants<https://arizona.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=af018f756d1ccbea4673d3677&id=529a21374a&e=f446cbb14c>) and keep an eye out on GPSC newsletters/social media for updates on this upcoming grant round.

We are looking forward to reading your applications!

Graduate Assistants’ Roundtable Series
Tips and Techniques for Success




Upcoming Roundtable:
Grading Survival Techniques, September 18

The University of Arizona Graduate College is sponsoring a series of Roundtables for Graduate Teaching Assistants. Graduate Assistants' Roundtables, Tips and Techniques for Success is a new take on professional development training for graduate students working as teaching and research assistants. The aim is for graduate students to share the strategies and practices that worked for them in dialogue with fellow students and targeting those just beginning their assistantships. Faculty advisors will join the conversation providing discussion prompts and contributing to the discussion. These roundtables will take place on Tuesday afternoons, from 1-2 pm in the Graduate Center’s multipurpose room in September and early October. The roundtable will be video-recorded with the future aim of creating an edited video resource available for access by other graduate students. Participants are welcome to attend one or all of the sessions. Refreshments will be provided. RSVP at https://grad.arizona.edu/forms/graduate-assistants-roundtable-series-rsvp<https://arizona.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=af018f756d1ccbea4673d3677&id=562efa72dc&e=f446cbb14c>


The Graduate Center is located at: 1600 E 1st Street, at the NE corner of Cherry and 1st Street
Topics for the Roundtables are:

October 16: Developing a Teaching Philosophy (Meaningful Perspectives, Attitudes)







Dissertation Work




I am conducting a research study for my PhD dissertation in Mathematics Education at Virginia Tech and I am inviting you to participate. For my project, I am interested in building an instrument to assess the extent to which doctoral students, i.e. future researchers, struggle with interpreting and reporting p-values in the context of independent research and peer review. Growing concern over the ability of practicing researchers to appropriately interpret and report statistical results has compelled journal editors and professional societies alike to take action in an effort to address and ameliorate the situation. In an effort to investigate whether the renewed attention to this issue has initiated a cycle of self-correction amongst the research community, the purpose of this research is to determine the extent to which future researchers are positioned to perpetuate this damaging pattern.
I am inviting you to participate in the field test for this instrument. The extent of your participation is that you complete the assessment and an exit questionnaire. This instrument will assess your ability to evaluate the research of others and to make decisions mimicking those that might arise in your own research. Part 1 of the assessment consists of TRUE/FALSE items based on p-value misinterpretations. In Part 2 of the assessment, you will be asked to read research vignettes and evaluate whether the researcher’s actions were valid or appropriate interpretations of p-values in context. The exit questionnaire will solicit your opinions regarding the usability of the instrument and will collect demographic data. The length of time for completion is different for everyone, but we estimate that it will require no more than 60 minutes. Please make every effort to complete all items.
Your participation is greatly appreciated; however, please note that participation is voluntary. You are free to withdraw from the study at any time or not complete all of the survey items. This survey is being advertised at R1 institutions nationwide. As an incentive for your participation, one participant at each institution, via raffle, will receive a digital giftcard of $10 to the merchant of their choice (Starbucks, Amazon, iTunes). Additionally, all participants will be entered into a larger drawing for one of seven digital gift cards valued at $50 (data collection will be terminated after 1 month or when 1150 completed responses have been recorded; probability of winning the large drawing are then no worse than 7/1150; probability of winning is 7/n where n is the number of responses not to exceed 1150). Participation is confidential. Should you have any questions about the study, you may contact me (rakeller at vt.edu<mailto:rakeller at vt.edu>) or Professor Driscoll (adriscoll at vt.edu<mailto:adriscoll at vt.edu>). If you have concerns about the study’s conduct or your rights as a research subject, or need to report a research-related injury or event, you may contact the VT Institutional Review Board (irb at vt.edu<mailto:irb at vt.edu>).
Thank you,
Rachel Keller
