Faculty researchers are encouraged to explore these materials to move their projects forward immediately:
Project Development: Take an early-stage idea for research through to finding funding, developing a team, developing a budget, and submitting a grant proposal.
Human Subjects Research Participation: All projects conducted at Pratt involving human subjects that meet the definition of research must be reviewed by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). We provide guidance and approval to ensure quality research involving human subjects is conducted under the auspices of the Institute.
Award Management: Once you receive an award, there are a number of responsibilities and procedures that Principal Investigators (PI) must follow to ensure compliance with Pratt internal guidelines, the guidelines of the funding organization, as well as local, state, and federal law.
