Interested in Being a Research Participant?
Northern is committed to assisting researchers in their activities. Some areas of scholarship are only possible with research participants, or people who agree to be studies as a part of the research. Participation is voluntary, which means it is your choice to participate. If you are interested and would like more information, please contact the Office of Sponsored Projects or visit Northern’s Sona research volunteer site.
Research Compliance
Research compliance is important for adherence to the high standards of ethics, integrity, and responsibility in scholarship to which Northern is committed. Northern's Institutional Review Board (IRB) provides oversight of human subject research, and our Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) provides oversight of animal use and care. Both protect the welfare of animals, human or non-human-related. Please visit Institutional Review Board for more information.
Resources
Northern's faculty and staff have access to resources that support the grant application process, including PIVOT, a tool that helps locate funding for scholarly work. Detailed grant-development documents and required grant submittal forms are available through the Office of Sponsored Projects in MyNSU under “Office of Sponsored Projects” (under Employee Resources).
