Resource: Management of Change Form
This sample MOC form demonstrates some of the details a researcher may need to provide in a lab setting to ensure the safety of participants and adequate provision of materials.
Mentorship
- Ensure that high-quality training is available to novice researchers and/or students.
- Consider EDI in all aspects of the research process.
- Aim to impart research and professional skills and knowledge.
- Provide appropriate supervision at all times.
- You may wish to read NERC’S Guidelines on the Assessment of Contributions to Research, Training, and Mentoring to get a sense of funder requirements.
Resource: CRI Principle Investigator/Research Assistant Agreement
