Educational Research Design Sprints for Academic Year 2026-27
May 13, 2026

Educational Research Design Sprints help UMB faculty transform teaching questions, curriculum ideas, assessment challenges, or educational innovations into more focused and researchable projects. Across three 90-minute Zoom sessions, participants will clarify their research problem, explore possible study designs, identify potential data sources, and leave with practical next steps.
Best for faculty with early-stage research ideas who may later seek internal funding, IRB approval, or support developing a formal study proposal.
