Research Committee – IFSPT
Actions and purposes
Support for research involving IFSPT member organizations: Members of the IFSPT may contact the Research Committee requesting support for the development of their research.
Two options are possible: a) IFSPT can share the research in social media (no endorsement/no responsibility required) or b) IFSPT's research committee can participate into the process, helping in some part or all steps of the research. This requires endorsement/responsibility.
This support could be in any phase of the research such as planning the methodology, organizing data collection, disseminating an online survey through IFSPT members, analyzing the data, interpreting the results and revising the manuscript. Authors should indicate along with their request an evaluation of the proposal/project and of the IFSPT benefits. Value for IFSPT must be clear and discussed early in the research process. If any support from the IFSPT research group is required in conducting the research, a possible collaboration, including acknowledgement and potential co-authorship including IFSPT must be discussed before the research is initiated. Once the support is approved, the authors should compromise to send a report to each IFSPT member organization involved in the research.
For inquiries regarding research, contact Research Committee Chair, Chris Napier.
