The work of the members
of the University's research review committees has long been a source
of pride and genuine appreciation for the Office of the Vice President
for Research (OVPR); and on October 3, 2006, the OVPR was pleased
to host an event to recognize all of the committees for the first
time at the Campus Club in Coffman Memorial Union on the Twin Cities'
East Bank campus.
"These important review committees are an external manifestation
of the University's commitment to research integrity, the ethical
treatment of research subjects—both animal and human—and
the safe conduct of research across campus. This event is a small
token of our appreciation for the fabulous job each committee does
in service to the University of Minnesota," said Vice President
for Research Tim Mulcahy.
There are thirteen committees at the University, serving to ensure
principled research, to safeguard proper use of human and animal
subjects, and to uphold the standards mandated by federal and state
agencies as well as the University of Minnesota's Board of Regents.
The committees are made up of a diverse and devoted group of volunteers
from different colleges across the University's five campuses and
of various specialties; each committee also has a community representative.
Thus, these committees can boast the extensive knowledge and experience
that enables them to review a wide range of research projects.
The OVPR would like to invite interested members of the University
community to join a research review committee and to use their expertise
in the service of the scholarly works of faculty, staff and students
and in support of the University's research mission.
