Student-Faculty Research Agreement

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 13:28:47 -0500

Research collaborations between students and faculty are increasingly taking place in the natural and social sciences.

To minimize the conflicts that such disputes can raise, I have created a Student-Faculty Research Agreement that can also be used for instructional purposes in research integrity and research ethics training.
