IUSB GrantsLetter

October 2004

For more information on the Office of Research and how it can help you please contact Erika Zynda at 520-4181 or ezynda@iusb.edu.

The first Dean's Seminar of the 2004-05 series will be held on Friday, October 15, 2004 at noon in the Board Room. Elizabeth Bennion, Assistant Professor of Nursing will present her research on Civic Education and Civic Engagement: The Effectiveness of Student-Led Voter Mobilization Campaigns.
The Office of Research will be holding a Funding Workshop in UCET (NS245) on October 12th at 1:30pm. Erika Zynda will go over the internal funding opportunities and Salina Shrofel will speak about finding external funding. Both will be happy to answer questions about doing research here at IUSB.
IRB Update - All of the protocols that were suspended last October have been either re-approved or closed and IU South Bend's Institutional Review Board (IRB) is entering a transitional period. For the next few months all applications for IRB approval (exempt, expedited, and full) will be reviewed by the full IUSB IRB in conjunction with the chair of the Bloomington Human Subjects Committee (Peter Finn). Our deadline is noon on 10/15/04 to be reviewed on 10/22/04. We will be scheduling more meeting in the next week or so. Check the website for the latest review schedule. http://www.iusb.edu/~sbirb
