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.
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.
St. John Fisher University 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. The Office of Sponsored Programs maintains records of CITI RCR training for faculty/staff researchers. Contact Center Director Dr. Kristin Picardo at kpicardo@sjf.edu to be enrolled.
Please also refer to the University Research Misconduct Policy [pdf].
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.
