Research is the foundation upon which all educational progress is built. Come be a part of the future.

The world of Hebrew teaching and learning is a complex one, rife with opportunity for improved methodology. Researchers with a focus on Hebrew, whether from across the United States, North America, or around the world will find a home for their ongoing research and work at the Institute for the Advancement of Hebrew. They may also find an opportunity to be a part of educational research unlike anything else the field has yet seen.

How do I request research support? Do I need approval before initiating a research project?

For questions about research support, you may contact Jim Ralph, Dean of Faculty Development and Research (ext. 5320) or Lynn Dunton, Budget Coordinator for Academic Affairs (ext. 3085).

The Research Compliance Manager can answer your specific questions about research approval.

Research Labs

Prof.  Jason Arndt (Department of Psychology)

Human Memory Lab: Our lab examines the mental processes that underlie human memory. Current projects seek to understand the nature of memory errors, the influence of emotion on memory, how taking a test (as opposed to just studying) can improve long term memory, and how social processes influence memory.

Student and Faculty Research

Neuroscience students have a variety of research opportunities available to them.

Students may choose to volunteer in faculty research labs, work as a paid research assistant, work as a summer research assistant, or enroll in independent research with a willing faculty mentor. Students enrolling in independent research before their senior year enroll in NSCI 0500. Seniors enroll in NSCI 0700, and seniors who successfully complete at least one term of NSCI 0700 may be able to pursue a final term of senior thesis research (NSCI 0701) described below.

Research Policies

Research involving animals must be approved in advance by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Contact Professor Bob Cluss, the committee chair, for procedures and forms.

Research involving human subjects must be reviewed by the Human Subjects Review Committee (Institutional Review Board).  The committee's procedures and forms are available at http://go.middlebury.edu/irb.  Further information may be obtained from Professor Matthew Kimble, the committee chair.

Research Leave Program

1. PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM

Leaves of absence are granted to enhance the scholarly and teaching capacity of the individual faculty member and to promote the general interest of the College.

2. BASIC ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAM

Directed, Independent, and Senior Thesis Research

Directed Research (PSYC 0350)

Directed research provides opportunities for students to become familiar with and participate in ongoing research projects under the direction of a faculty member. Students gain first-hand experience in many aspects of the process of psychological research and also learn to write technical articles in psychology by preparing a paper that describes the project using APA style.

Student & Faculty Research

Students and faculty in the computer science department are very active in research. There are numerous new and ongoing student-faculty research projects, independent projects, and group projects. Students present their work at different research forums, both on-campus and off-campus, and there are several faculty research projects with active student participation.

Current on-going faculty research projects involving regular student participation include:
