College Research Policies
In order to be eligible to submit a research proposal or grant application, funding agencies require that applicant colleges have in place acceptable, internal policies relating to the conduct of research at the institution. These include such policies as academic integrity and ethical guidelines on the use of human and animal subjects in research.

The following policies have been adopted by Fanshawe College:
·                      Research & Scholarly Activity
·                     Integrity in Research & Scholarship
·                      Use of Animals in Research
·                       Academic Freedom - Rights and Responsibilities
·                      Student Research Projects and Research Ethics Approval
 
Prospective researchers should review them and keep these policies in mind when developing their research proposals.
