FACULTY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
PURPOSE :The Faculty Research and Development Committee prepares guidelines, evaluates applications, and recommends recipients for grants designed to provide faculty members an opportunity to engage in organized study programs and/or introduce course innovations. The Committee also encourages participation in and support of research by faculty and students and serves as the University review board for research proposals involving human subjects and for proposals submitted to the Faculty Research Grant Program. The Committee makes possible the interaction of representatives from many areas and programs and provides a means of emphasizing the role of research in the University’s mission.
COMPOSITION :Two faculty representatives from each academic college with at least five faculty representing academic areas involved in human subject research and one from the Paul Meek Library are selected for two-year overlapping terms. In addition, for purposes of reviewing research proposals involving human subjects, a representative of the local community will be added to the Committee membership for a one‑year term. This individual will be appointed as follows: The members of the Committee shall compile a list of nominees acceptable to the full Committee and submit it to the Director of Research, Grants, and Contracts who, after consultation with the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, shall select the community representative from the prepared list. A faculty representative elected by the outgoing Committee will serve as chair and the Director of Research, Grants, and Contracts will serve as secretary and a non‑voting member.
