National Council on Undergraduate Research 2006 Report
By Mohammed Tahar, Physics

Twenty-five SUNY College at Brockport students, and eleven faculty members, went to the 20th National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) in Asheville, NC, on April 6-8, 2005, to present the results of their research. NCUR, which started 20 years ago in Asheville, NC, is an annual conference with a focus on the scholarly work of undergraduate students across the disciplines, from the performing arts to the humanities to the natural sciences. The years' presenting students were from the departments of Biology, Business-Economics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Dance, Health Science, History, Mathematics, Physics, Physical Education and Sport, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and McNair Program.

The students, who attended the conference and presented the results of their research, had submitted abstracts to NCUR, and got accepted by the conference review committees. In fact, thirty-one abstracts were submitted, some with the same advisor, and twenty-seven were accepted and two decided to not to travel to NCUR, due to last minute personal developments. With the twenty-seven accepted presentations, SUNY College at Brockport ranks ninth among over eighty universities and colleges nationwide, which had more than six abstracts accepted. Close to 2300 students, who traveled to Asheville, NC, gave 1919 presentations, either oral or poster. The SUNY College at Brockport students are listed below in alphabetical order first by their presentation subject and second by their name, along with their mentor's name and title of presentation.

The faculty members who attended were Drs. Cynthia A. Boaz, Jeffrey T. Lashbrook, Margaret E. Logan, Richard V. Mancuso, Craig O. Mattern, Eric M. Monier, Paul B. Moyer, Douglas M. Scheidt, Barbara J. Thompson, Ralph R. Trecartin, and Mohammed Z. Tahar, NCUR Coordinator at SUNY College at Brockport. Dr. Tahar coordinated the abstract submissions and trip logistics, as well as providing guidance to students while at the conference. Many thanks go to Dr. Logan and the faculty who attended for their help and patience during the bus ride to North Carolina, and for their help to each other and to the SUNY College at Brockport students at the conference.

The conference afforded many benefits to the Brockport undergraduate presenters, in addition to the obvious value gained by preparing their material, presenting it, and answering questions about their work. As a result of helping one another to refine and practice their presentations and through attending each other's presentations, the students experienced the value of teamwork. By attending other presentations in their own disciplines as well as in other disciplines, the students gained a broader perspective on research in their fields and in others, giving them a better sense of the value of their own work. Finally, they experienced the importance of preparing talks and posters that were well organized, visually attractive, and of high quality. Because students had the opportunity to attend a broad range of presentations, they could observe first hand the reality that how one presents oneself and one's work is very noticeable! The twenty-five Brockport students did very well in this respect, both in the quality of their research presentations, and in demonstrating to other attendees the strength of the College's undergraduate research program.

The students also had an opportunity to learn about graduate school options in an informal setting when the graduate programs of several universities provided information during a special fair for graduate school. Finally, the conference gave excellent opportunities for SUNY College at Brockport students to interact with peers from institutions all over the country.

Applications are welcome from all disciplines for students to apply to present at the April 2007 NCUR conference. Abstracts are submitted online by November 1, 2006. Contact Mohammed Tahar, Physics, NCUR Coordinator at mtahar@brockport.edu for more information. All travel arrangements for students and their faculty mentors are made through and financed by the Grants Development Office to attend the NCUR conference.

Conducting Research Involving Humans Including Class Projects?

What is human participants research? Defined by the federal government as "A systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to general knowledge, which involves the collection of data from or about living human beings." Student research involving human participants is included in this category.

Why must it be reviewed by a campus Institutional Review Board? Federal and state laws requires this protection. Additionally, it is College policy to ensure that the rights and welfare of human participants are adequately protected in research conducted under its auspices.

Who has to submit material for review? Any faculty, staff, student or external person who wants to conduct human participants research under the auspices of the College or on the grounds of the College must have prior approval of the College's Institutional Review Board (IRB). Research conducted for course evaluation, institutional research, or ongoing college processes do not need to be reviewed. However, if the research results will be disseminated in publications or presentations, then the research must receive prior approval. If no dissemination is planned at the time the data is gathered but the possibility exists of future dissemination of results, the researcher should submit the project for approval before beginning research.

How do I submit a proposal for review?
Step 1 - review the IRB campus guidelines by reviewing the guidelines (updated 8/06) at http://www.brockport.edu/etc/forms/grant/guidelines.html.

Step 2 - to be in compliance with federal regulations all persons (faculty, staff and students) submitting a proposal to the IRB must first complete a free, few hour, on-line modular training course on the protection of human subjects in research prior to submitting your proposal for review. The website location is in the guidelines.

Step 3 - determine which of three categories your proposal falls into from the guidelines and then submit the appropriate paperwork.

Step 4 - fill in the cover sheet at the end of the guidelines, have it signed as indicated, attach all required paperwork and send it to the Institutional Review Board, Grants Development Office.

Step 5 - your proposal will then be reviewed initially by the IRB Chair, Dr. Jan Gillespie. Then depending upon the category it falls into it will be sent to one other reviewer or possibly require a meeting of the full IRB. The entire process can take 1-4 weeks depending upon the level of review, the time of year, and your response time to any revisions. When the proposal is approved you will be notified immediately by e-mail. Research can be approved for up to 12 months. Projects continuing after that time can seek continuing renewals.

Questions? Contact Colleen Donaldson, Grants Development Director at cdonalds@brockport.edu. (Dr. Ralph Trecartin our Research Compliance Officer is on sabbatical in New Zealand for the fall 2006 semester but will return in spring 2007. He was appointed in fall 2005 as our new one-third time Research Compliance Officer - he is a faculty member in the Department of Business Administration & Economics. We miss him!)

_____________________________________________________________
Changes in Our Human Subjects Research Board

As of August 2006, we are welcoming Jan Gillespie, Psychology as the new Chair of our Human Subjects Review Board (also known as the Institutional Review Board). Jan had formally been the Vice-President of the IRB Board and brings fifteen years plus of experience. We are delighted to be working with her.

We bid a very fond and appreciative farewell to Carol Brownstein-Evans, Social Work who has taken on the position of the Director of the Greater Rochester Collaborative Social Work Program between SUNY Brockport and Nazareth College. She was an excellent chair to the IRB and will be sorely missed.

Due to the growing volume of proposals that the Human Subjects Review Board must examine we have increased our Board membership for 2006-07 to twelve members from eight. Following is a listing of Board members for the coming year.
Jan Gillespie, Psychology, IRB Chair
Dave Abwender, Psychology
Jennifer Boyle, Health Science
John Chelonis, Psychology
Jason Dauenhauer, Social Work
Kathy Goetz, Community Representative
Tom Hernandez, Counselor Education
Justin Laird, Health Science
Leslie McCulloch, Counselor Education
Sue Novinger, Education & Human Development
Deanna Shifton, Community Representative
Christopher Williams, Physical Education & Sport.
We appreciate their efforts on behalf of our campus.
