The Economic Education Network for Experiments (EENE)
Project Life Cycle
Phase 1: Idea
-
Projects start in one of two ways:
-
Annual meeting. Anyone in that group will get conceptualization credit when papers coming out of the project are published.
-
A small group (or individual) can email the EENE SC with their idea. This group (or individual) will get conceptualization credit.
-
-
Once a project enters the Idea phase, a Project is created on the EENE Hub where the initial group are the members.
-
The project team should create a short (~150 word) description of the project for the EENE members but the rest of the project materials and project-related discussion are viewable only by the project team.
-
Any EENE member can join a project during the Idea phase, but they will only get conceptualization credit when the original group believes they have made a significant contribution.
-
EENE members can be members of no more than two project teams.
-
When the project team believes they have fleshed out the idea sufficiently, they will write and submit an Idea to Development (I2D) proposal. Details of this process are here
Phase 2: Development
-
When approved by the EENE SC, Projects are marked as in Development on the EENE Hub.
-
One member of the EENE SC may join the Project Team (if they are not already a member)
-
New members can join, but they must be approved by the Project Team Leader
-
The Project Team decides how they want to be funded and potentially writes a grant proposal. The EENE SC will help identify potential funding sources and provide support during the proposal development process. Even projects that are self-funded will need to be fleshed at a level of detail similar to that expected in a formal grant proposal.
-
The EENE SC provides help with IRB procedures and study design issues.
-
The EENE SC matches the project with a preliminary sample of interested (not formally committed) instructors and courses.
Phase 3: Recruiting and Implementation
-
When the project is approved by the EENE SC and is ready for implementation, it moves into this phase.
-
A final sample of committed instructors and courses is created.
-
EENE provides help with IRB procedures and implementation issues.
-
Implementation begins and data is collected.
Phase 4: Analysis
-
Data is analyzed by the project team
-
Results are written up and presented at conferences
-
Papers are written and submitted for publication
