*RESEARCH DATA SERVICES (RDS) @ Georgia State University Library

RESOURCES & ASYNCHRONOUS TRAININGS

• Sage Research Methods -- Supports beginning and advanced researchers in every step of a research project, from writing a research question, choosing a method, gathering and analyzing data, to writing up and publishing the findings.
• Sage Research Methods: Business -- Cases, videos, datasets and step-by-step guides to business research methods.
• O'Reilly for Higher Education -- eBooks published by OReilly as well as videos, on various research software / coding languages / tools.
• LinkedIn Learning -- GSU has a campuswide subscription to LinkedIn Learning -- if RDS doesn't offer support for a software / coding language / tool, it's possible that LinkedIn Learning might have tutorials.

LIVE TUTORIALS & WORKSHOPS

• DLL Tech Training -- Digital Learners to Leaders (DLL) program offers a wide variety of FREE technology, software, and professional development workshops to all Georgia State students, staff and faculty.
• Andrew Young School of Policy Studies Data Visualization Workshops -- $50 fee per workshop. Entire workday of in-person instruction, interactive engagement, and case application from Andrew Young School faculty on GSU's Atlanta campus. Participants earn a badge for each completed session -- and stacking three badges allows micro-credentials to be applied toward prior learning credit in the Department of Public Management and Policy’s master-level certificate or degree programs.
• ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods -- Training in statistics, quantitative and qualitative methods, and data analysis. Online and in-person courses available, and scholarships!
• Data Carpentry -- Introductory computational skills needed for data management and analysis in all domains of research.

ARCTIC

Advanced Research Computing Technology and Innovation Core -- ARCTIC Advanced Computing resources have intrinsically scalable design comprised of balanced compute architecture with CPU and GPU nodes, a high-performance parallel file system combined with EDR Infiniband interconnect operating at 100 gbps, makes it a robust foundation for the broad range of researchers’ needs. The objective is to particularly support investigators and projects that make up the “long tail of science”, the projects that are not traditionally supported by large-scale computing centers: the psychologists, biologists, public policy researchers, etc., as well as traditional candidates such as physicists, chemists, and computer scientists. ARCTIC resources are available to all GSU faculty, staff, post-doctoral researchers, and students across the multiple colleges and centers within Georgia State, and all the researchers around the world through collaborations and partnerships.

• HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING (HPC) -- see FAQs about ARCTIC HPC capabilities.
• GET ACCESS TO ARCTIC RESOURCES -- All ARCTIC systems are managed by a fully automated self-service portal. PI’s can manage their projects and allocations themselves, assign project managers and monitor how resources are being used by group members.
• BOOK AN APPOINTMENT -- ARCTIC can help you to reach a broader community by developing Science Gateways for your research projects. A science gateway provides an easily accessible web portal to your Advanced Scientific Computing research projects. Gateways also provide greater flexibility to start new collaborations and grant access to ARCTIC’s Advanced computing platforms.

BIOSTATISTICS RESEARCH COLLABORATIVE (BRC)

• Mission: The collaborative generates collaborations between Georgia State investigators for high-quality health-related research. Biostatistics Research Collaborative (BRC) team members work with investigators on grant development, study design, statistical analysis, interpretation of results and manuscript preparation.
• Health-Research: The BRC is available to Georgia State investigators conducting health-related research. This includes faculty in the School of Public Health, Mark Chaffin Center for Healthy Development, the Center for Leadership in Disabilities, School of Nursing, College of Education & Human Development, Department of Sociology and Department of Biology. The BRC is also available to School of Public Health postdoctoral fellows and doctoral students.
• Grant Development: Pre-award grant support is provided at no cost with the intention of developing a collaborative environment that will lead to funding success. BRC team members assist in grant development with the expectation the principal investigator will invite the BRC team member to be a co-investigator or biostatistician on the project. Early BRC involvement in a funding application will ensure the study design, sample size determination and analytic plan are appropriate and rigorous, which increases the chance that the grant will be funded. The level of funding support needed will vary by project.
