It is usually a project that contributes to a research area for which the major professor has funds available to support the graduate student research project. It is strongly recommended that the student conduct a preliminary literature review to ascertain the state of the art before in-depth laboratory or field experiments are planned. Space for the project and use of research laboratory facilities will be arranged, when necessary, by the major professor. The purpose of this meeting is to assist the student in maintaining progress and in developing their full research potential. This review provides the student an opportunity to update all biochemical nutrition research faculty on research progress, and to discuss their data with faculty.
Graduate students can obtain additional information from their advisers.
Each biochemical nutrition graduate student will receive notice of the review schedule and information about the review several months prior to the scheduled review. Acknowledgment - Contributions that do not justify authorship should be acknowledged separately in the notes to the manuscript. These may include general supervision of a research group, assistance in obtaining funding, or technical support. A claim of authorship by, or assignment of authorship to, persons who may have been associated in some way with a study but do not meet the criteria in item 1 may constitute an unethical research practice. Allocation of credit and order of authorship - A senior scientist is generally defined as the person who initiates and oversees a project, supervises and advises the junior researchers, and makes intellectual contributions to the project.
