Research Restart

The purpose of Research Restart is to help folks get back into research after the COVID hiatus, and all the other immediate things that keep us from our longer range goals and plans! The theme of the 2021 Research Restart is Tools You Can Use. 

We are also pleased to announce that we will be inviting Dr. Peg AtKisson to once again lead her 8-week course on ‘Research Leadership Development’ (aka ‘Developing Your 5-year Plan’) to a cohort of New College faculty. We received only positive reviews from Cohort 1, and are excited to offer this opportunity again to Cohort 2. Faculty who participate for the full program in Research Restart will be eligible to then participate in ‘Research Leadership Development.’ The costs will be fully covered by New College for those selected to be a part of Cohort 2, faculty need only commit to attending all eight sessions. These are tentatively slated for Thursdays, 5–6 p.m., starting in February 2022, and are via Zoom. 

Additional details on the training: The ‘Research Leadership Development’ program is designed for pre-tenure or immediately post-tenure (or pre-promotion or immediately post-promotion) faculty to develop tools and approaches to support the long-term success of their research or related enterprise. The eight interactive sessions draw on proven principles for entrepreneurs and small business owners, framed for academia. Session 1 starts with defining the pillars that support a successful, long-term research career (sourced from the participants, including publication, collaboration and of course, politics) and Session 8 culminates in a draft five-year plan to strengthen the pillars. Note this approach can be applied beyond a typical or traditional research scenario to sustaining any long-term program or initiative.

Presenter: M. S. (Peg) AtKisson, PhD. Peg AtKisson is the founder of AtKisson Training Group. ATG is focused on faculty research development, offering coaching, proposal development, training in grant writing and skills workshops. Dr. AtKisson founded the Research Development office at Tufts University, starting as a contract grant writer in 2001. She joined Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops in 2008, leaving in 2017 to found ATG, based on the idea that grant proposals sit in the context of the individual scholar's larger research enterprise and career trajectory.
