Research at Rockhurst University

Rockhurst University received a grant from the National Science Foundation and the Council of Graduate Schools to establish training in the area of Responsible Conduct of Research. Rockhurst received one of only eight grants awarded nationwide.

Rockhurst will collaborate with Bradley University in establishing a program to educate faculty and students on conducting research in an ethical manner. The two partnering universities are the first master’s level institutions to receive the grant.

The program provides training to those in occupational therapy, physical therapy, education and communication sciences and disorders.

Rockhurst University students and faculty who wish to conduct research with human subjects should download and submit the funded application (69KB PDF) or unfunded application (65KB PDF).

The training program provides information regarding conducting research in an ethical manner and quizzes participants on that information. The results are sent to the primary investigator of the grant, Donna J. Calvert, Ph.D., interim dean of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies, but will be held in confidentiality. Any reports regarding the data would be presented in aggregate form in a manner that does not allow identification of any individual participant.
