Responsible Conduct of Research and Creativity & Professional Standards Award

The Graduate School and the Office of Research invites proposals for faculty and/or department to develop and conduct educational components (e.g., courses, course-imbedded modules, workshops, seminars, discussion groups, brown bag gatherings) that provide training for graduate students, particularly doctoral students, in professional ethics and standards.

The goal of our initiative is to ensure that more graduate students at FSU receive training in the core areas of responsible conduct of research/creativity as identified by the Office of Research Integrity . This initiative will complement the 1-credit hour RCRC course that is currently offered in the Spring semester and help to ensure that our graduate students are well prepared for their professions.

Eligibility

Any faculty member or group of faculty members.

Funding

Awards will be up to $10,000 and can be used to cover summer salary, graduate student assistance (but not tuition); and materials and supplies.

Proposal Sections

Abstract of no more than one page describing the proposed RCRC program.

Project Narrative of no more than five pages that describes the following:

  • How the RCRC program will cover one or more of the nine core areas (Core areas should be interpreted as appropriate for the discipline. For example, collaborative research in the sciences might equate to collaborative creative activities in musical performance or film);
  • Materials to be developed and shared with other faculty/departments;
  • One-year timeline for the proposed program (development of materials and curriculum, and implementation of the new program);
  • Future sustainability of the RCRC program;
