Advisor Responsibilities
Advisor responsibilities include:
- Read, comment on, and approve the proposal as submitted.
- Write a letter of support indicating
- support for the merit of the project
- ability and willingness to provide guidance, space, supplies/equipment necessary to complete the project
- acceptance of responsibility for supervision
Note: If there are two advisors for the project, each must write a letter of support or both sign a combined letter.
- Provide guidance, space, and supplies/equipment necessary
for completion of the project within the planned time.
- Academic advisors must ascertain that if human subjects,
animal care, bio or chemical hazards, recombinant DNA, or radioactive
isotopes are
part of the proposed project, all required compliance assurances
will be applied for and received prior to commencement of the
student project.
- Supervise the student's work including the final documentation
requirements and the oral or other presentation of the work.
Sign the final completion
report form indicating completion of the project or significant
progress.
- Advise the Director of PriSMS promptly should significant
problems arise or if the student must significantly change the project
from the written
proposal.
- Provide progress reports, if requested.
- Agree to list CPMS as a source of support on any publication (or other forum) stemming from the project in which the student is listed as an author or co-author (or co-creator).
As students work on their project and write it up, they will
include co-authors on poster presentations and journal manuscripts
who
make substantive contributions to the project. Depending upon their
contributions,
co-authors
may include the faculty advisor(s), staff on the faculty advisor's
research team who assist them in a significant way, the community
advisor(s),
and/or Michaela Kiernan, PhD, Research Director for CPMS. We recommend
that students print off the PDF form at the Annals of Internal
Medicine webpage for an explanation of the criteria to use when determining
co-authors based on the type of contributions (http://www.annals.org/shared/author_form.html).
Students should discuss the criteria for authorship with potential
co-authors
at two points in time: before starting data collection and before
writing
up project results.
