UF IT will offer SPSS and Sample Power workshops this spring beginning in January 2016. The workshops include four face-to-face sessions: Getting Started, Moving On, Advanced 1, and Advanced 2. These are delivered one series per month, one workshop (3 hours) per week.
These are free workshops and the only requirement is that participants must attend the first three workshops. Participants will learn how to use the software for scientific research and must already know basic statistics at the graduate level. The workshops are open to faculty, staff, and graduate students.
For more information about the workshops, please visit http://training.it.ufl.edu/spss-sample-power-workshop-information-registration/
Effective Oct. 15, 2015, Contracts and Grants (C&G) Accounting was given the responsibility for determining the Budget Control (KK) Level to be used with grant or contract funds at the time of project set-up, rather than the Division of Sponsored Programs (DSP) at the time of NOA. The Budget Control KK Level has been removed from DSP’s NOA.
In summary,
The project’s Budget Control KK Level is displayed in myInvestigator. If you have any questions regarding the Budget Control KK Level assigned to your project, please contact the C&G Grant Accountant assigned to your award.

Dr. Patricia Snyder will present a practice-based coaching framework she and her colleagues have developed, validated, and evaluated in a series of studies funded by the Institute of Education Sciences from 2007-present. The practice-based coaching (PBC) framework and its key components will be shared along with data that show noteworthy impacts on teachers’ and family members’ implementation of evidence-based practices. Next steps for research and practical application will be discussed.
