LEC Fall 2025 Research Workshop Series:
Research in Action: The Why and How of Research Methodologies
Unlock your research potential with the Research Revealed Series. This five-part professional development experience is designed to empower faculty at all levels. Whether you are just starting out or returning to research, this series will build your confidence and skills in research methodologies that drive meaningful inquiry: quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, and evidence-based research using the PICOT Framework (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Time). Through guided discussions, interactive activities, and real-world examples, you will discover how to apply these methodologies effectively in academic, health care, and professional settings. Join a supportive network of peers growing together as confident researchers designing, conducting, and contributing impactful research advances in your field, health care practice, and in local and distant communities.
We encourage you to register for the full workshop series to gain the most benefit. You are welcome to attend as many sessions as your schedule allows. All sessions will be recorded and shared with the registrants.
Workshop Series Learning Objectives:
By the end of the Research Revealed Series, participants will:
1. Describe the key characteristics and purposes of quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, and PICOT-based research approaches with confidence.
2. Identify which research questions align best with each methodology, helping to shape your own research focus.
3. Select the most appropriate research methodology tailored to your specific interests and professional goals.
4. Apply foundational research concepts to begin designing and conducting studies using one of the methodologies introduced, supported by practical tools and peer collaboration.
