SoTL Grants and Funding Opportunities
Engaging in SoTL research often requires funding. St. Lawrence College is committed to promoting all forms of research—including SoTL. For funding opportunities, please review the Academic Scholarship Funding Programs provided by the Research and Innovation Department at St. Lawrence College.
SLC Research Ethics Board (SLC-REB)
SoTL research often requires approval from one or more Research Ethics Boards. If you plan to collect data from human participants, we encourage you to consult the SLC-REB Guidelines, Review Process, and Resources.
ARECCI Ethics Screening Tool for assessing: (1) the level of risk of your project, (2) the types of ethical risks, and (3) the appropriate type of ethics review
Before submitting an SLC-REB application, you must first complete the online asynchronous CORE-2022, consisting of 9 modules and a knowledge consolidation exercise, to obtain the certificate of completion. The CORE-2022 introduces the Tri-Council Policy Statement 2 (TCPS 2), which provides ethics guidance that applies to all research involving human participants. The CORE training was most recently updated in 2022 to include ethics guidance for research involving Indigenous Peoples. If your CORE certificate was issued before this update in 2022, you will be asked to renew your CORE training and provide an updated certificate along with your SLC-REB application.
