Quality Circle Review @ Faculty Writing Fridays Successfully submitting grant proposals, journal articles, manuscripts, or juried program materials is a detailed process. GVSU’s new Quality Circles program provides opportunities for you to im‐ prove your proposal by receiving feedback from past recipients and selection‐committee mem‐ bers, in a manner designed to mirror the actual review your submission will undergo. The reviewers look at your entire submission (title, abstract, main body, and any appendices) and review the different components, helping to ensure that your material is conveyed in the best possible manner. Care is given to explore the initial impression of your application and in providing feedback to assist with making a strong first impression. Circles for Success offers: Peer review and feedback on a variety of writing projects Insight from recipients and former selection‐committee members Corporate, foundational, governmental and internal grant submission feedback Improvement of success rates Improvement of scholarship Aid in increasing your portfolio and research If you would like your proposal reviewed, the CSCE will evaluate your work during the Writing Center’s Faculty Fridays. Please contact Kirsten Bartels at qualitycircles@gvsu.edu the week be‐ fore so that we can prepare for your quality circle review.
Call for Comments on Proposed New Rules for Human Subjects Research The Research & Development Committee has is‐ sued a call to all faculty members for comments on the federal government’s proposed new rules for human subjects research. If enacted, the proposed changes would dramatically affect both research and the Human Research Review Committee (HRRC) oversight functions at GVSU. Summary documents, a list of identified concerns, and the full proposal are available on a special HRRC web page: http://www.gvsu.edu/hrrc/dhhs‐ ohrp‐proposed‐new‐rulemaking‐85.htm. A portal link from the HRRC page to a BLACKBOARD discus‐ sion forum dedicated to the proposed new rules will be available by September 23, 2011. Comments will be collected and reviewed by the R&D commit‐ tee and a recommendation made for a formal GVSU response to the proposed changes. DEADLINE for submitting comments via BLACKBOARD is October 4, 2011. Access to the BLACKBOARD forum is open to any‐ one and has already been granted to all college deans and unit heads. Individual researchers may request direct access by sending an e‐mail request to the HRRC at hrrc@gvsu.edu. In the subject line please put: NEW RULES. For questions please call the HRRC help desk at 331.3197.
