Interested in conducting research on one of the topics deemed a high priority by GCU?

The Priority Research Program aims to provide faculty and learners with opportunity to publish in critical research areas. Within the Priority Research Program there are opportunities to publish as part of a Research Lab as well as independently.
We are currently accepting applications from faculty for Priority Research that will occur between April and November 2016. While all research related to PhD emphasis areas are considered, key areas for this lab term are:
 
STEM
Cognition and Instruction
Instructional/Organzational Psychology
For those wishing to conduct SoTL research within their STEM or PhD classroom, help for topic creation can be found at: https://cirt.gcu.edu/research/sotl/process/starting
Research Lab teams may comprise up to two faculty members and one volunteer CDS learner. Faculty are eligible for a $1,000 grant upon submission of the manuscript and an additional $250 upon publication of the manuscript.
The application process is currently closed for 2016, but stayed tuned for the 2017 call for applications!
