The goal of the Survey School Fellowship is to build capacity in research that uses survey methodology. The Fellowship includes opportunities for:
- Learning about survey research methodology and best practices in questionnaire item design
- Deliberate practice in developing research questions and relevant survey items
- Mentorship to support Fellows in developing competence in survey methodology
By the end of the Fellowship, each Fellow will have created a research proposal that uses survey methodology, including a set of questionnaire items designed according to best practices.
The Fellowship takes place over one full year, with three in-person educational sessions. These sessions are held in conjunction with the NAPCRG and STFM annual meetings, as follows:
- Session 1 at NAPCRG (Fall)
- Session 2 at STFM (Spring)
- Session 3 at NAPCRG (Following Fall)
- Attend 3 in person sessions – pre-conference ½ day workshops (do not need to register for the conferences)
- Meet with mentor virtually at least once (likely 2-3 times) between Session 1 and 2, and again between Session 2 and 3
- Write a survey project proposal (any topic of your choice), including questionnaire items. This will be supported by the mentor, and will be reviewed and discussed at Session 2 and Session 3
