Business proposal for FPL to switch to more renewable resources in light of global warming/ to be cleaner

Description

Learn the functions of the Human Subjects Research Board, become familiar with the process at Indiana Tech, and structure your own application to this Board. (If you do not have a research project in mind, please use a published research article from a refereed journal of your interest and design the IRB based on what you have learned from the article concerning subjects and risk. You must also be able to establish other issues of consent.) Same rules apply for peer REQUIRED critical review, especially in all issues in informed consent.

Please attach your completed IRB for Indiana Tech for Human Subjects Research. (If you have used a refereed article that used human subjects in order to answer the questions on the Tech IRB, please asterisk and then disclose the article that you used to tease out the information.

Topic: IRB Proposal
For discussion in this module chapter, please study the Indiana Tech IRB paperwork for your research study.

After you have digested the procedures, do a search among other universities. The names may be a bit different. Some of called “university research review,” “human subjects board.” Sometimes the name is not “board” but “committee.” If all else fails in a Google, just call the university and someone will direct you to the paperwork part of the process. You may find different forms for different levels of research, such as undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, or faculty.
Once you have downloaded documents from a couple of other universities, begin to do a comparison and contrast with the IRB documentation from Indiana Tech. Areas to consider: 1) What do you find that is similar, and 2) what is different? 3) What forms do you consider more complete? 4) What forms are confusing for young researchers? 5) Do you see possible ethics violations that could occur that Tech paperwork does not examine?

This is an example of a students response:

Institution

Location

Similarities

Differences
Indiana Institute of Technology

Fort Wayne, Indiana

The four institutions share the following:

1. Guidelines to determine which research activities are exempt from IRB approval.

2. Informed consent requirements and definition.

3. Procedures to follow according the level of risk.

1. Rose-Hulman IRB process is managed externally by Indiana State University, the other three institutions manage their own IRB committees.

2. Rose-Hulman policy list specific responsibilities for IRB administrators.

3. For some research activities, Auckland University of Technology requires the opinion of the legal division.

4. Indiana Tech policy is specific about not granting retrospective approvals (IRB application must be approved before starting any research activities).

5. The ethics policy at Auckland University of Technology includes requirements for instruments that are translated to the local language of study participants.

 
Select one department such as accounting, sales, operations, and so forth in the Kudler Fine Foods Virtual Organization to complete this assignment. Imagine you are a midlevel manager at this organization who supervises two to four first-level managers.

Prepare a 1,050- to 1,400-word report to your boss where you propose a needed change for this department. You will be asking permission from your boss to implement the change management program. Include the following in your report:
•Explain the need for this change and the importance of the opportunities it provides.
•Explain the four dimensions of change management and how they apply to this situation.
•Summarize how you would use the project management approach to explain how the change will be managed.

: Evaluation proposal ( Pacific Community)
Word limit: 2,000 words

This research assignment requires you to develop an evaluation proposal for a program.
The purpose of this assignment is to make you able to enter the field (relatively) confident that you are able to undertake at least small scale evaluations. This assignment is designed to give you those skills.
In week 8, we will meet with PHD , who is a Project Officer for the Department of Family and Community Services. PHD presents some current projects/programs. This assignment is to write an evaluation proposal for one of those (so don’t miss this week). The assignment will be explained in more detail following PHD visit.
There are two components to this assignment:
10%: A preliminary presentation/consultation with PHD and UNI staff:
In week 13, PHD will again visit us. This is your chance to engage and consult with PHD. You will be able to present up to 6 A4 pages with your preliminary outline/considerations.
30%: The proposal:
You should organise the proposal so that it includes the elements outlined in the table below.
Note: The sections shaded grey on Table 1 (summary, research timetable, budget, personnel, appendices) normally feature in research proposals and grant applications, but due to the word limit for this task they do not have to be included here (and will not count toward your task). References (which are compulsory) do not have to count toward your word limit. Also, please make sure that you make linkages between the different sections of this report where appropriate.
A marking rubric will be provided later in the course.
Table 1: Evaluation Proposal
Cover letter You should include a cover letter and address the evaluation proposal to PHD
Title The title should indicate the topic of the study in 1- 15 words
Summary 100 to 200 word summary of the entire project Background/ Significance This section should outline the program that you will be evaluating in the proposed research and indicate why evaluation is needed. For instance, are there controversies about the program or the social issue it responds to? Why is there a need for further information about this program? When outlining the program, you should present the program logic in diagrammatic form and explain how the key elements of the program relate to each other. When indicating why the evaluation is needed, you should discuss the program, the social issue that it responds to and what the evaluation will contribute to our knowledge. Literature Review A concise summary of the main references relevant to evaluating the selected program. Make sure that you review the findings of other studies and discuss their methodology. At the end of this review, draw out the important messages for the evaluation and the methodology in particular. It is imperative that multiple sources with a range of authors are consulted to allow for a diversity of views to be explored and identification of controversies about the program (or similar types of programs). Please do not take any sources at face value – be critical but reasonable. Aims and
Objectives
Make it clear who the evaluation is being commissioned by. Identify the study’s main objective and the key research questions that will guide the evaluation. After identifying the main objective, it might help to consider whether you need information on the effectiveness, appropriateness, and efficiency and so on of the program.
Approach Discuss the suggested approach and justify why you have chosen that approach. It is good practice to discuss (briefly) the merits of the main alternative approaches. Use references if appropriate. What methods will you use? What will be the outcome of using these methods? Which stakeholders will be involved? It is imperative that you explain the links between the evaluation question(s), the evaluation approach, the methods and how these will be operationalised in this particular case. Ethical and
Political Issues
Identify any specific issues arising from the research. Pay careful attention also to generic ethical issues in research with human subjects – Respect for Persons: Informed Consent; confidentiality; possible risks for subjects and any possible benefits. State whether Ethics
approval has, or will be sought, and if so, from whom. Also, consider the political dimensions of this report – are there controversies about the program or social issue? Are there any conflicts of interest (i.e. as internal or external evaluators)? And, consider the ethical issues that are likely to arise because this is evaluation research.
Research
Timetable
Set out the best information available on the time needed for the various stages of the research: preparation, data collection, analysis, write up, publication/dissemination.
Personnel
Where appropriate, identify the main people (including yourself as primary researcher) are likely to be involved and summarise the experience and expertise they would need to bring in order to produce high quality data.
Budget
This is required for many grant applications, consultancies, etc. It is often useful to complete in other cases as well.
References List any books, articles, reports, web sites etc. you have cited in the proposal.
Appendices
Attach any important documents (e.g. questionnaires, ethics approvals, CVs, budget, sampling framework) referred to in the body of the proposal.

 
Measurements (& Surveys).
Surveys
Identify surveys or other ways you would obtain the data needed for a research project such as this (hypothetical) HOMELESS VETERANS one. Be sure to cite, including at least two sources for your narrative. So . . . let’s say you find a survey similar to your idea. Cite that. Discuss how you could/would adapt it to what you need. Or how you couldn’t possibly do so (with good, strong justification).

Other measures
If you are doing something besides a survey (see above), explain why, and how – what is it you’re doing, and why. Cite. You can cite someone who’s doing something similar, or a source on “how to do research.” Or a source on your content, explaining how people in general do this kind of thing and what they typically find.

EPAS
Return to the syllabus and choose either one or two of the EPAS to answer this question. Identify which standard, and tie your answers to the first two parts of this assignment to them. Hint: the answer to this part of the assignment probably lives in your head already – don’t try to look it up
