| | Greetings From CARMA! The 2018-2019 academic year is bringing many exciting changes for CARMA Members! We are adding new membership benefits. In additional to the 15th year of our webcast series, we are adding a Global Scholar Series, a Research, Methods, and Better Science Series, an Advanced Reviewer Development Series, and a CARMA-RMD New Doctoral Student Series. Altogether members will have access to presentations by over 50 leading methods scholars. In this email, you will find membership details, membership benefits, and program schedules. We are inviting you to virtually attend the first of this year's events this week! The CARMA-RMD New Doctoral Student Series begins Thursday August 23rd, find details on how to attend under the membership benefits section. Everyone is welcome to watch live, regardless of your membership status. We are also redesigning the way we label membership. If your institution was previously enrolled in the "Consortium Webcast Program" that will now be referred to as an "Institutional Premium Membership", and the "International Video Library Program" is now referred to as "Institutional Basic Membership". Membership registration is open now, and if your institution is interested in purchasing a membership, you can find the program details on our website. To see if your institution has registered for a 2018-2019 Membership, see the section "Purchasing Membership" below. | | | | | Find registration instructions here.

Unsure if your Institution has renewed for 2018-2019? Login to your CARMA Website User account, and select "View Subscriptions". You will see a list of Active Subscriptions. If you do not see "2018-2019 Institutional Basic OR Institutional Premium Membership", your Membership is not current. | | 2018-2019 Membership Benefits | | The webcast series provides faculty, graduate students, and other researchers training in research methods and data analysis.
