And those are just the practical hindrances \u2013 the uncertainty of these times has been incredibly mentally taxing too, which is not good for our ability to think and write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to switch gears and regain some momentum with your research, we have an opportunity for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our friends at Academic Consulting Ltd have designed a 2-week online Research Accelerator programme for researchers at all levels. The programme consists of over 45 online sessions on a huge range of topics \u2013 including qualitative and quantitative analysis, transcription, academic writing, using NVivo \/ SPSS software, and more. Participants can pick and choose which sessions they want to attend, with 3-day and 10-day passes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about the programme is available here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.academic-consulting.co.nz\/accelerator\/\">https:\/\/www.academic-consulting.co.nz\/accelerator\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the full programme guide is available here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.academic-consulting.co.nz\/ra-full-schedule.pdf\">https:\/\/www.academic-consulting.co.nz\/ra-full-schedule.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great way to learn new skills and blast through any particular roadblocks you might be having.
