A strong foundation for a research study is based on careful planning, including defining what, where, when, why, and how. Research planning comes before collecting and analyzing data. You need to identify what you are trying to understand, the reasons why you want to undertake the project, and the resources needed for it.
What is it? Coaching and training are an integral part of the services we provide at Elite Research, in alignment with our goal of empowering researchers through education and communication during all aspects of the research process. We base our coaching and training services on the unique needs of each of our clients.
Coaching is a collaborative relationship between you and one of our research consultants to guide and motivate you through a particular process so you can produce the best results in a timely manner for your research project. It is most useful for students who are completing their dissertation or thesis, or students or researchers working on manuscripts. Coaching may be customized for your needs on a regular schedule or on an as-needed basis.
Training is for those who would like to increase their knowledge and understanding about a research method, data collection or analysis technique, analysis software, or dissertation/thesis defense. Training is offered for groups or individuals, with in-person or virtual options. Our research consultants can tailor the support that you need to ensure that you not only complete a project, but also acquire new knowledge and understanding about conducting qualitative research through coaching and training.
