Case Studies01:22

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
Ethics in Research01:56

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.
Statistical Significance01:37

Statistical Significance

Once data is collected from both the experimental and the control groups, a statistical analysis is conducted to find out if there are meaningful differences between the two groups. A statistical analysis determines how likely any difference found is due to chance (and thus not meaningful). In psychology, group differences are considered meaningful, or significant, if the odds that these differences occurred by chance alone are 5 percent or less. Stated another way, if we repeated this...
The Scientific Method02:40

The Scientific Method

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.
Group Design02:01

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...
Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Area of Science:

  • Academic Science
  • Graduate Education
  • Research Funding

Background:

  • Grantsmanship is crucial for academic science careers, particularly in competitive funding environments.
  • Early exposure to grant writing and review processes benefits graduate students' professional development.
  • A student-led grant program was established to address these needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide graduate students with opportunities for independent research projects.
  • To foster early and frequent grant writing practice among students.
  • To offer students experience in reviewing grant proposals.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a small, student-run grant program at Georgetown University Medical Center.
  • Solicitation and review of grant applications from graduate students.
  • Disbursement of funds for successful research proposals.

Main Results:

  • Over three years, 28 applications were submitted, with 13 funded, totaling $40,000.
  • Funded projects resulted in abstracts, manuscripts, and data for future proposals.
  • Both applicants and reviewers reported improved writing skills and understanding of the grants process.

Conclusions:

  • Student-run grant programs offer significant benefits for professional development and research skills.
  • Such programs can be implemented with minimal time and financial commitment.
  • Institutions can foster grant writing proficiency and career readiness in graduate students through similar initiatives.
