2012 DSU INBRE II Mini-grant Competition   FAQs   Can the PI for the minigrant be the PI of a current INBRE grant? Can visiting faculty members apply for a mini-grant? Can I collaborate with a faculty member from the same department if their research is in a different area from me?

If the PI is from CMNST, can the collaborating faculty member be from a different college? Can a faculty member from a different institution serve as the collaborating faculty member?

McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program at Delaware State University! Recognizing that diversity of scholars is integral to educational excellence, the Delaware State University Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program seeks to produce scholars and researchers who will more accurately reflect the growing diversity in intellectual perspectives, life experiences and cultures in academia. Named after Dr. Ronald E. McNair, one of the first African-American astronauts, the program is committed to increasing the number of students in doctoral degree programs who come from low-income and first generation backgrounds, or who are members of traditionally underrepresented groups in academia, specifically African-American, Hispanic/Latino, and American Indian/Alaska Natives. The McNair Scholars Program benefits from alliances with Departments and the Graduate School at DSU. The McNair Scholars Program is funded by a federal TRIO grant from the U.S. Department of Education.    About the McNair Program Ronald E.

The Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program is a subscription service providing research ethics education to all members of the research community. To participate fully, learners must be affiliated with Delaware State University. CITI Program offers The Basic and Refresher Courses in the Protection of Human Research Subjects. Biomedical research focus Social and behavioral research focus  The Good Clinical Practice and ICH Course. 15 module course for investigators conducting studies with investigational drugs and devices.  The Health Information Privacy and Security (HIPS) Course. The Course can be customized for: Clinicians Clinical investigators Students Fundraisers Marketers  Laboratory Animal Welfare Course And    The Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Course Responsible Conduct of Research Training and Oversight Plan I. Statement of Intent – The National Science Foundation, in its Grantee Standards states: The responsible and ethical conduct of research (RCR) is critical for excellence, as well as public trust, in science and engineering. Consequently, education in RCR is considered essential in the preparation of future scientists and engineers. Section 7009 of the America Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education, and Science (COMPETES) Act (42 U.S.C. 1862o–1) requires that ‘‘each institution that applies for financial assistance from the [National Science] Foundation for science and engineering research or education describe in its grant proposal a plan to provide appropriate training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research to undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers participating in the proposed research project.”  1 a. All faculty, staff, students and volunteers working on NSF-supported research projects will be required to successfully complete the RCR training modules with a score of 80% or more before their employment contracts will be approved. Evidence of approval in the form of a CITI certificate will be required. II. Oversight a. The Office of Sponsored Programs will be responsible for oversight of the implementation of this plan and enforcing compliance with completion of the CITI RCR training modules before approving employment contracts on NSF-funded projects. b. All claims of research misconduct will be handled by the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, pursuant to the policy on Standards for the Conduct of Scholarly Research. The Office of Sponsored Programs will receive periodic reports from the training provider, CITI.  These reports will be maintained as official University records.   1National Science Foundation, Award Administration Standards effective January 1, 2010, Chapter VI.B., downloaded December 14, 2009 from http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf10_1/aag_4.jsp.
