RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH (RCR)

The RCR Credit Workshops 24' - 25'

Time: 10:00AM-11:00AM  |  Place: Student Union Bldg, Room 218 

September 4th, 2024: Authorship and Peer Review
October 2nd, 2024: Mentoring
November 6th, 2024: Conflict of Interest
January 29th, 2025: Data Management
February 26th, 2025:  Research Enviroments
March 26, 2025:  The Scientist as a Responsible Member of Society
April 23rd, 2025:  Collaborative Research
 
The RCR Credit Workshops will be held once a month at the Student Union and hosted by Nolan Hatley, the MTSU Research Compliance Officer.  There will be a special topic in RCR each month where Nolan will present some basics on a particular topic concerning the responsible conduct of research followed by a discussion.  These will be particularly valuable to those needing RCR credits, and the design of the series is to ensure on any given year, any participant can earn the required 8 contact hours required by the NIH, but may apply as credit under the NSF, USDA, and possibly NASA, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Education.  These discussions will be focused on the ethics and professional responsibility of research.  For reasons of academic freedom and integrity, and to encourage participation in discussion, these meetings will not be recorded, or offer remote or online participation, per the requirements of NIH.
 
These meetings will have an attendance cap, so please RSVP Dr. Nolan Hatley at nhatley@mtsu.edu or contact him at 615-494-8918.
Participants will receive certificates of attendance upon completion.  
 
 

RCR

 

Special Note to Faculty and Students:  These discussions might also be a good opportunity for assignments related to research ethics and law, or for make-up and extra credit assignments.  Nolan will be happy to sign documents for the purposes of recording attendance, and each session will also have a handout.

 

INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD (IRB)

The IRB Monthly Discussion Series 24' - 25'

March 20th, 2025:  Justice and the Selection of Subjects 
April 17th, 2025: Informed or Consent?  How to ensure it as Informed Consent 

 

The IRB Topics Monthly Series will be held once a month at the Student Union and hosted by Nolan Hatley, the MTSU Research Compliance Officer.  There will be a special topic each month where Nolan will present some basics on a particular topic in research ethics and law concerning human subjects followed by a discussion.  These will be particularly valuable to both undergraduate and graduate students who either currently or in their future plans will be conducting research with human subjects; nonetheless, any and all are welcome to attend the discussions.  These discussions will be focused on the "why" and "what" concerning research ethics and law involving human subjects and not necessarily the "how."  Of course, at the conclusion of the meeting, this will be a good place to ask questions, too, related to anything with IRB at MTSU. 

For reasons of academic freedom and integrity, and to encourage participation in discussion, these meetings will not be recorded.  These meetings will have an attendance cap, so please RSVP Dr. Nolan Hatley at nhatley@mtsu.edu or contact him at 615-494-8918.

Introduction to URECA and MT-IGO
Tuesday, November 16, 1:00-2:00 pm | ZOOM

Presented by: Dr. Jamie Burriss, Program Manager, ORSP and Dr. Gregory Rushton, co-Director, ORSP

This workshop will provide an overview of the URECA and MT-IGO* programs, offer guidance regarding the proposal development and application process, and highlight program expectations. 

Undergraduate Research Experience and Creative Activity (URECA) Grants

One of the key characteristics of excellence in undergraduate research is faculty commitment. The success of the URECA grant program is dependent upon our faculty mentors who are highly committed to providing students with a hands-on research experience that includes instruction, guidance and direct modeling. They support student learning in a manner that allows students to develop greater responsibility   for his or her own work, develop and demonstrate valuable teamwork skills, and gain experience in critical inquiry.  Faculty are eligible to receive stipends for the Gold and Platinum level mentorship.

*Formerly known as FRCAC
MT-IGO grants are intended to provide up to $10,000 in seed funding for tenured and tenure-track faculty focused on the preliminary       stages of a larger research or creative activity project or program, and preferably in preparation to compete for successive external funding      to support the continuation and amplification of their scholarship. Applications are reviewed by a committee of distinguished faculty who  award university funding based upon selected proposals.
