Research Education Seminar Series
As part of a larger strategy to continuously develop, support and improve research knowledge and skills for our staff and students at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, we created a series of seminars designed for novice to intermediate level researchers.  

Conducting research requires many specialized competencies and skills. We have compartmentalized these into training components which make up this research seminar series.  

We continuously work towards expanding these seminars to meet the needs of our researchers and to further grow these into a certificate program in the future. These research seminars are also a great way to refresh learning and knowledge for more seasoned researchers. Each module is designed to be 1.5 hours long with time devoted to interactive exercises and questions.
