DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The methods of behavioral and social science research are changing rapidly. Methodologic development and increasing trans-disciplinary thinking is creating exciting new opportunities for researchers and a need for ongoing educational efforts that can ensure researchers maintain cutting-edge facility with the evolving science. Such educational efforts need themselves to evolve and adapt both to teach current and innovative methods and to incorporate advances in our understanding of how to most effectively deliver educational content. We propose to develop a state-of-the-science, sustainable, and adaptable educational platform around innovative methods for the behavioral and social sciences. The proposed Methods INnovation eDucation Suite (MINDS) project will offer training in innovative methods in the behavioral and social sciences while taking advantage of the opportunities afforded by new technologies for innovative approaches to delivering this material. Overall our objectives are to (1) develop a comprehensive set of week-long short courses aimed at biomedical, behavioral, and clinical researchers and practitioners around key methodological approaches in the behavioral and social sciences (including issues of data visualization, modeling/simulation, innovative study design, adaptive data collection, and modern measurement issues), (2) enable a broad audience, untethered by geography, to participate in these focused short-courses through the development of digital versions of the same courses and (3) nurture a community of scholars interested in behavioral and social science research through the creation and curation of a dynamic digital space that includes essential resources and educational materials related to behavioral and social science research, opportunities for intellectual exchange, and novel tools that can help the behavioral and social science researcher in his/her daily work. Importantly, we aim to capitalize on a unique existing platform -the Epidemiology and Population Health Summer Institute at Columbia (EPIC)- that already offers weeklong courses in both in-person and digital formats and that has a track record of success to build the MINDS program, affording an effective, and cost-efficient approach to deliver educational opportunities to behavioral and social science researchers worldwide.

描述（由申请人提供）：行为和社会科学研究的方法正在迅速变化。方法论的发展和跨学科思维的增强正在为研究人员创造令人兴奋的新机会，并且需要持续的教育努力，以确保研究人员在不断发展的科学中保持尖端设施。这种教育工作需要自身发展和适应，以教授当前和创新的方法，并融入我们对如何最有效地提供教育内容的理解的进步。我们建议围绕行为和社会科学的创新方法开发一个最科学的、可持续的、适应性强的教育平台。拟议的方法创新教育套件 (MINDS) 项目将提供行为和社会科学创新方法的培训，同时利用新技术提供的机会以创新方法来交付这些材料。总体而言，我们的目标是（1）围绕行为和社会科学的关键方法论（包括数据可视化、建模/模拟、创新研究设计、自适应数据收集和现代测量问题），针对生物医学、行为和临床研究人员和从业人员开发一套全面的为期一周的短期课程，(2) 让广泛的受众不受地理位置的限制，参与这些重点课程 通过开发相同课程的数字版本来培养短期课程；(3) 通过创建和管理动态数字空间来培养对行为和社会科学研究感兴趣的学者社区，其中包括与行为和社会科学研究相关的基本资源和教育材料、知识交流的机会以及可以帮助行为和社会科学研究人员日常工作的新颖工具。重要的是，我们的目标是利用一个独特的现有平台——哥伦比亚流行病学和人口健康夏季研究所（EPIC）——该平台已经提供了为期一周的面对面和数字形式的课程，并且在建立 MINDS 项目方面拥有成功的记录，提供了一种有效且具有成本效益的方法，为全世界的行为和社会科学研究人员提供教育机会。
