Page Number. Save papers as a pdf using the following nomenclature: StudentLastName_FirstName_MCDBCourse_Term&Year.pdf. Please send a copy to your PI Note that you will need to fulfill various safety and associated requirements to begin research, depending on your field of study. If you will be working with radioisotopes in a laboratory you must have attended a radiation safety training seminar at Yale! You will not be able to start your experiments unless this requirement is fulfilled. In addition, you should discuss with your supervisor whether you should take a chemical safety course. For further information on both these topics call the University Safety Dept. at Tel. 5-3550. If your proposed research involves animal use your professor must have an approval for this protocol from IACUC. Your professor must send a new form to IACUC to include you in the protocol once your project has been approved. Finally, if you have not already done so, you need to complete an IACUC course before research can begin. Student and Research Mentor Contracts: Due dates: Fall: Monday, September 9, 2019 @ 12:00 noon; Spring: Monday, January 27, 2020 @ 12:00 noon. These should be uploaded to the Assignment section of Canvas. Contracts and complete guidelines are available on Canvas and the MCDB Website. Research Proposal: Due dates: Fall: Monday, September 9, 2019 @ 12:00 noon; Spring: Monday, January 27, 2020 @ 12:00 noon. A 1-2 page double-spaced summary of your research (written in collaboration with your research mentor) is due at the beginning of the term. This should include ~ 1 page overview/background of the project (documented with a short bibliography) and a section describing the general objectives, hypothesis to be tested and most importantly, the specific aims of your project. For guidance, ask your mentor to see a Specific Aims section of one of their NIH or NSF grants. Please be sure to follow APA formatting – as well as follow the Submission and Formatting Instructions for All Written Work. Inappropriate Proposals include simply analyzing data gathered by someone else, for example entering previously obtained data into a computer and running a statistical analysis program. An unsuitable proposal at the other extreme would be gathering data for another person to analyze, for example taking medical histories or clinical measurements that will be passed on to someone else for study. Projects involving allelic screening of patient populations for SNPs associated with a given disease are also not acceptable unless there is substantive experimental design/content. If you are considering a project that may fall into one of the categories above, please discuss this with the instructor in charge prior to committing to that laboratory or project (there may be suitable alternative projects in the same lab).
