Research Idea Development Template Assignment

We have created a template document we want everyone to use during the JSIT workshop for organizing the development of your research ideas. Please start by watching this short introduction video by Justin Sydnor (note: Justin recorded this last year when we were virtual and mentions seeing you 'virtually' -- but he'll be in person with us this year):

Now that you have watched the video, please review this document that gives the template layout with examples and brief explanations:

Here is a blank version of the template.  Please download it so you can edit your own copy:

We want you to upload a filled out version of the template for an initial research idea in the area of Retirement and Disability Research prior to the workshop.  Please upload your idea template here by 9 am Monday.  Your idea can and likely will change during and after the workshop.  It is also likely, and totally fine, that your first attempt here might be incomplete.  Just do what you can on this and see it as part of the development process (i.e., this is a "work in progress" document not a final output).  It is totally fine to put in placeholders in certain parts (e.g., data) listing where you are uncertain or need to look into things more.  

If you have any questions about the template or this assignment, please feel free to email Justin: justin.sydnor@wisc.edu
