Procedures for the Research Committee

Adopted 12/4/2005

Mission:

Given that the members of the Halsey Hall Chapter value research that is documented, valid, and accurate, the purpose of the research committee is to encourage and aid research within and among members of the chapter.

Objectives and tasks:

• Be in charge of the schedule of research presentations at semi-annual chapter meetings. This includes soliciting presentations from members with an emphasis on encouraging new presenters. Proposals should be submitted in writing to the committee and should include a title and brief outline of what the presentation will consist of with emphasis on the research that will be included. The committee will set the schedule for research presentations and inform the presenters and the Events Committee of the schedule no later than two weeks prior to the chapter meeting.

• Serve as a clearinghouse for research assistance, establishing research mentors within the chapter and linking them with those in need of assistance.

• Keep members informed of research methods and new techniques (particularly with emerging technologies) through a variety of methods, including but not limited to presentations/panel discussions at chapter meetings, articles in the newsletter and on the chapter web site, periodic round-table discussions.
