Preparing Your NSTC Research Proposal? Key Academic Ethics Reminders

Preparing Your NSTC Research Proposal? Key Academic Ethics Reminders
Do you know how to properly address continuing research, duplicate funding applications, and the disclosure of previous research findings in your proposal?

Key Reminders This Month:
● Clearly explain how your proposed research builds on your thesis, dissertation, or previous research projects.
● Fully and accurately disclose previously published findings and preliminary results.
● Clearly distinguish between similar research projects supported by different funding sources, including their respective scope and funding.
● If a previous proposal was not funded, revise it based on the reviewers’ comments before resubmission.

Research integrity is the foundation of responsible research.
Clearly presenting your research background, previous findings, and the scope of your proposed work helps ensure compliance with research ethics standards while making your proposal clearer and more compelling.
