Term Description
Researcher/Investigator The terms researcher and investigator are used interchangeably for the purposes of this policy; researcher/investigator, for the purposes of this policy, means an individual—a VCC employee (faculty, staff and/or administrators at VCC), student, or other—either paid or volunteering to conduct research or scholarly activity at or through the College.
Conflict of Interest Conflict of interest, for the purposes of this policy and its procedures, means a situation in which a researcher’s/investigator’s personal or financial interests are in conflict or perceived to be in conflict with the College’s interests or mission, or with the proper performance of the employee’s job duties, responsibilities, or obligations. A conflict of interest may be actual, potential, or perceived: a perceived conflict of interest can be as detrimental as an actual conflict of interest. Such actions undermine or compromise public confidence in the College or the College’s trust in the employee’s ability to discharge work responsibilities and obligations.
Research and Scholarly Activity Research and scholarly activity refer to an undertaking intended to extend knowledge through a disciplined inquiry or systematic investigation. Scholarly activity includes research; the dissemination of new knowledge through such means as publications, presentations, and exhibitions; and the application of new knowledge in professional practice and student learning.
Research Ethics Board (REB) A decision-making body that reviews research proposals involving human participants to ensure that ethical principles are upheld.
