{pdp} Plag. (Pat Cryer) How to Develop and Write a Research Proposal. A 'research proposal' may also be known as a 'dissertation proposal' or a 'research statement'. The advice below is sufficiently comprehensive for a PhD proposal, but it can readily be adapted and simplified for shorter research projects, including those for dissertations at undergraduate level. The advice assumes that you already know the general area of your anticipated research project. If not, stop to read the page on choosing a research topic and then return here. Essential criteria for a successful research proposal A sound research proposal should show that the proposed research: • is worth researching • can realistically be researched • is sufficiently challenging for the level of award concerned • can be completed within the allotted time • can be adequately resourced • is not likely to be subjected to any serious constraints • is suitable for the student concerned.

These points may seem deceptively simple, but each one can subsume a multitude of others - as explained below. © Pat Cryer. Singapore Statement on Research Integrity. (UKRIO) UK Research Integrity Office. Research Governance Framework for Health and Social Care. Human subject research. Human subject research is not a systematic investigation that can be either research or clinically oriented and involves the use of human subjects in any capacity.[1] Systematic investigation incorporates both the collection and analysis of data in order to answer a specific question. Examples of clinically oriented investigation include analysis of biological specimens, epidemiological and behavioral studies and medical chart review studies.[1] Examples of research oriented investigation include surveys, questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups.

Human subject research is used in various fields, including research into basic biology, clinical medicine, nursing, psychology, sociology, political science, and anthropology. As research has become formalized, the academic community has developed formal definitions of "human subject research", largely in response to abuses of human subjects.

Human subjects[edit] As defined by DHHS regulations: Human subject rights[edit] Nuremberg Code[edit] Belmont Report - Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) 25th Anniversary of the Belmont Report – Program OHRP commemorated the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Belmont Report a milestone in Federal responsibility, leadership and commitment, with a ceremony held on November 16, 2004. That event honored the writers of the Belmont Report – the members, consultants and staff of the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research, 1974-78.

The Declaration of Helsinki[1] is a set of ethical principles regarding human experimentation developed for the medical community by the World Medical Association (WMA).

It is widely regarded as the cornerstone document on human research ethics.[2][3][4] It is not a legally binding instrument under the international law, but instead draws its authority from the degree to which it has been codified in, or influenced, national or regional legislation and regulations.[5] Its role was described by a Brazilian forum in 2000 in these words "Even though the Declaration of Helsinki is the responsibility of the World Medical Association, the document should be considered the property of all humanity".[5] History[edit] The Declaration was originally adopted on June 1964 in Helsinki, Finland, and has since undergone seven revisions (the most recent at the General Assembly in October 2013) and two clarifications, growing considerably in length from 11 paragraphs in 1964 to 37 in the 2013 version.

The Menlo Report is a report published by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science & Technology Directorate, Cyber Security Division that outlines an ethical framework for research involving Information and Communications Technologies (ICT).

The 17-page report[1] was published on August 3, 2012. The following year, the Department of Homeland Security published a 33-page Companion report[2] that includes case studies that illustrate how the principles can be applied. The Menlo Report adapted the original Belmont Report principles (Respect for Persons, Beneficence, and Justice) to the context of cybersecurity research & development, as well as adding a fourth principle, "Respect for Law and Public Interest. " The Menlo Report was created under an informal, grassroots process that was catalyzed by the ethical issues raised in information and communication technology (ICT) computer security research.
