This award to PI H. Russell Bernard continues support of Short Courses on Research Methods in Cultural Anthropology to help professional anthropologists improve their skills in collecting, analyzing, and presenting data. There are four, 5-day courses in the program: Text Analysis, Methods of Behavioral Observation, Survey Research Methods in Cultural Anthropology, and Methods of Ethnoecology. Social Network Analysis will be added next year, and several new courses are being considered, including Statistics and Data Analysis in Cultural Anthropology, and Methods of Visual Anthropology. Three 5-day courses are offered each summer. Participants are recruited nationally and apply online. Applications are competitive and 12 to 14 participants are accepted into each course. Participants are screened and accepted by the instructors for each course. Those selected to attend are given access to a web site that contains the readings for each course. Participants thus come to each course prepared for intensive, hands-on training in data collection and data analysis. The SCRM program has trained 53 anthropologists in one or more methods for research. Many of them are using their training in their own research, in preparing new grant proposals for research, and in teaching students, both undergraduate and graduate, the skills of research. Over the next four years, 2007-2010, it is anticipated that between 100 to 120 more colleagues will participate in these courses and that will have a rippling effect as colleagues teach students who are moving in the research phase of their careers. Better research methods help scholars do better research on important social issues. In addition to 5-day courses in the SCRM, one-day workshops on the use of software for collecting and analyzing data are offered at national meetings of anthropologists and are open to students as well as to faculty.

这个奖给了PI H。罗素·伯纳德继续支持文化人类学研究方法的短期课程，以帮助专业人类学家提高收集，分析和呈现数据的技能。该计划有四个，5天的课程：文本分析，行为观察方法，文化人类学调查研究方法和民族生态学方法。明年将增加社会网络分析，并正在考虑几个新的课程，包括文化人类学的统计和数据分析，以及视觉人类学方法。每年夏天提供三个为期五天的课程。参与者在全国范围内招募，并在网上申请。申请是竞争性的，每个课程接受12至14名参加者。每门课程的教员都要对参加者进行筛选和接受。那些被选中参加的人可以访问一个包含每门课程阅读资料的网站。因此，参加者参加每一个培训班，都是为了接受数据收集和数据分析方面的强化和实际操作培训。SCRM计划已经培训了53名人类学家一种或多种研究方法。他们中的许多人正在利用他们的培训在自己的研究，在准备新的研究拨款建议，并在教学生，本科生和研究生，研究技能。在今后四年，即2007-2010年，预计将有100至120名同事参加这些课程，这将产生连锁反应，因为同事们将为正在进入职业研究阶段的学生授课。更好的研究方法有助于学者更好地研究重要的社会问题。除了在SCRM为期5天的课程，为期一天的研讨会上使用的软件收集和分析数据提供了在人类学家的国家会议，并开放给学生以及教师。
