• Research misconduct

• Responsible research administration

• Operationalizing organizational excellence

Representational, VectorStock Image

RESEARCH INTEGRITY

A successful researcher must possess

some basic core values:

• Honesty – conveying information

truthfully and honoring commitments

• Accuracy – reporting findings precisely

and taking care to avoid errors

• Efficiency – using resources wisely and

avoiding waste

• Objectivity – letting the facts speak for

themselves and avoiding improper bias

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

F Falsification

“..manipulating research materials,

equipment, or processes, or changing or

omitting data or results such that the

research is not accurately represented in the

research record”

F Fabrication“..making up data or results and recording or

reporting them “

P Plagiarism“..appropriation of another person’s ideas,

processes, results, or words without giving

appropriate credit”

“Research misconduct means fabrication,

falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing,

or reviewing research, or in reporting research

results.”

Questions?

Research Development at UAB

Chelsea Crawford, PhDDirector, Research Development

WHAT IS RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT (RD)?

• A set of proactive, catalytic, and capacity-building tools designed to

support the efforts of individual faculty members, teams of

researchers, and central research administration offices in attracting

extramural research funding.

• We strive to create productive relationships and to develop and

implement strategies that increase faculty success.

• We try to reduce the number of times UAB investigators encounter

the terms: “NOT DISCUSSED” or “UNSCORED”

WHO ARE WE?

Kent T. Keyser, PhD

Associate Vice President, Research

Development and Internal Programs

• Former Graduate Program director and

UWIRC director

• Experience writing R01s, P30s, T32s,

T35s, U01s, NSF applications, and

writing and applying for internal pilot

grants

• Extensive experience with both

successful and unsuccessful

submissions

Chelsea Crawford, PhD

Director of Research Development

• Former UWIRC administrator and

grants manager

• Experience writing and coordinating

teams for small- and large-scale NIH,

DoD, NSF, VA, and foundation grant

applications

• Lover of writing, details, and rules

UAB RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES

No, we can’t write grants for you, but we do provide:

• Weekly or biweekly distribution of new funding opportunities:

go.uab.edu/research-funding

• Team building and support for large-scale proposals

• Referral to internal and external RD resources:

Schools | Centers

• iThenticate—a way to screen the written products of your lab for plagiarism

• LabArchives—an electronic lab notebook

mynotebook.labarchives.com/

sitesignup?stay=here

In cases where the sponsor limits the number of submissions, we pull together ad hoc advisory groups to choose who can submit.

This facilitates transparency and fairness.

Limited Submissions

Our office supports the University-Wide Interdisciplinary Research Centers.

The UWIRCs sponsor programs and events (retreats, workshops) that facilitate collaboration, and provide financial support for core facilities.

UWIRCs

In collaboration with the SOM and Centers, our office supports core facilities through the Institutional Research Core Program.

If UAB doesn’t have resources that faculty need for research, we try to find those resources at a neighboring institution and arrange for UAB faculty to have access.
