Center for Student Research & Creative Work

The Center for Student Research & Creative Work supports students and mentors across the disciplines as they engage in the processes of creative inquiry, dissemination of their work, and self-development.

Student Explaining Poster at Research Symposium

The Center serves both students and mentors in a variety of ways that will support their scholarly endeavors. Summer research, travel support, presentation opportunities, and mentor development are some examples.

If you are a student interested in learning more about research opportunities, please reach out to faculty members in your major/minor departments or set up a time to meet with Dr. Picardo, Center Director.

Additional Research-Related Support

Responsible Conduct of Research

Ó£»¨¶¯Âþ expects all members of the campus community engaged in research to do so with integrity. The Center for Student Research & Creative Work provides access to online training in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) for students.

Please also refer to the University Research Misconduct Policy [pdf].

Institutional Review Board

The IRB committee protects the rights of human subjects involved in research at Fisher. The IRB reviews proposals for research to ensure that confidentiality, informed consent, and safety are guaranteed. The committee considers any project which obtains data from human subjects as a project worthy of review. Please visit the IRB webpage for more details.

Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)

Fisher is committed to providing humane treatment and care for all of its animals, and to compliance with the requirements of the Animal Welfare Act and other applicable federal and state regulations.

 Research has been a great glimpse at not only how knowledge is applied from the classroom to real-world problems, but into professionalism and presenting as well. ”
