ABOUT THE TRAINING PROJECT

Built for the AOM research community.

The member program was developed in response to AOM member feedback and brings together the community perspective of the AOM Research Methods Committee with CARMA's research methods expertise.

01 · SHAPED BY MEMBER NEEDS

A partnership grounded in what AOM scholars asked for.

The AOM Research Methods Committee helped identify the needs and opportunities behind the program, connecting member priorities to two complementary learning series.

Research methods education from CARMA.

CARMA is a nonprofit academic center at Texas Tech University. Its instructors and presenters include journal editors, career award winners, and leading management scholars with research methods expertise.
