The Study Lifecycle

Welcome! The resources in this guide are designed to help you through all stages of the study lifecycle (depicted below). You can find quick links on this page and discover more information via the tabs at left.

Study Planning: IRB Application

CITI Program
This series of online training modules needs to be completed prior to submitting an IRB application for research involving human subjects.
Human Subjects Research Training
Anyone who will be conducting research involving human subjects at Stony Brook University needs to complete the CITI training on Human Subject Protections prior to submitting an IRB application.
myResearch IRB Training Manual
This manual provides detailed information on using myResearch for an IRB proposal.

Study Planning: Data Management Planning

DMPTool
An online tool for the creation of data management plans (DMPs). Includes DMP templates for many funders. Log in with your NetID and password, after entering your "stonybrook.edu" email address (you will not be able to view institutional guidance with Stony Brook Medicine or LISVH email addresses).

U.S. funding agencies such as the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health require researchers to supply detailed, cost-effective plans for managing research data, called Data Management Plans.

Several universities and organizations are developing the DMPTool to help researchers meet these new requirements. In specific, the DMPTool will help researchers:

> Create ready-to-use data management plans for specific funding agencies
> Meet requirements for data management plans
> Get step-by-step instructions and guidance for data management plan
> Learn about resources and services available at your institution to fulfill the data management requirements of their grants
SBU Office of Sponsored Programs and Grants Management: Proposals
This website provides basic information on proposal planning and submission. It contains links to proposal checklists for several major funding agencies.

Study Planning and Startup: Grant Support

Office of Sponsored Programs and Grants Management
The Office of Sponsored Programs and Grant Management can assist you through all steps of the grant application process, from planning through post-award management.
myResearch Grants Training
There are regular training sessions available, as well as a pre-recorded video available on using myResearch to manage grants proposals.
SBU Office of Proposal Development: Find Funding
This site contains links to various funding opportunities organized by subject area.
PIVOT by ProQuest
The Office of the Vice President for Research maintains a subscription to PIVOT, a tool where researchers can create a faculty profile to match with other potential collaborators, find funding, and receive alerts when funding sources are available that match their profile.

All Stages: Data Ownership Policies

At all data management stages, it is important to understand who owns your data. Always check for funder and institutional policies on data ownership before making storage and preservation decisions.

Data generated by research projects at or under the auspices of Stony Brook University are owned by the University. However, the principle investigator (PI) is responsible for retention, preservation, distribution, and control of the data.

See the SUNY page on Copyright and Faculty Ownership of Intellectual Property for more information.
