Blind Procedures

Blind Procedures

Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which child was...

Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

The Stanford Prison Experiment

The Stanford Prison Experiment

The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Eyewitness Memory

Eyewitness Memory

Eyewitness memory refers to the recollection of events by someone who has directly witnessed them, often serving as critical evidence in legal settings. This type of memory is commonly used in criminal cases where a witness describes details like a suspect's appearance, clothing, or behavior during a crime. However, despite its perceived reliability, eyewitness memory is prone to significant errors.
One such error is memory distortion, which occurs because human memory does not function like a...

Investigation of Disease Outbreaks

Investigation of Disease Outbreaks

Multistate foodborne outbreaks pose significant public health risks and require meticulous investigation to identify sources and implement control measures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) utilizes a dynamic seven-step process for these investigations, integrating data from laboratories, interviews, and environmental assessments to protect public health.Outbreak Detection: The detection of multistate outbreaks typically begins with PulseNet, the CDC's national laboratory...

Area of Science:

Scientific funding
Defense research
Basic research

Background:

Many scientists are unaware of the substantial basic research funding available through the US Department of Defense (DoD).
The DoD's research budget is often perceived solely for applied or defense-specific projects, not foundational science.

Purpose of the Study:

To inform scientists about the existence and accessibility of basic research funds within the US Department of Defense.
To provide a foundational understanding for researchers seeking to engage with DoD funding opportunities.

Main Methods:

This content serves as a guide, outlining the landscape of DoD basic research funding.
It identifies key areas and potential avenues for scientific inquiry supported by the DoD.

Main Results:

The US Department of Defense actively funds a broad spectrum of basic scientific research.
Understanding the DoD's budget allocation reveals significant opportunities beyond traditional defense applications.

Conclusions:

Scientists can leverage DoD funding for fundamental research across various disciplines.
Navigating DoD funding requires awareness of its scope and strategic alignment with research interests.
