1*. How would you categorize your project?
2*. Please provide a short description of your project.
3. What is the estimated duration of the development phase
of your project (e.g, summer quarter)?
4. What kind of support will you need from the CSL? (Check
all that apply.)
† The CSL staff can train you and/or your
project staff to use equipment and software. If you have a budget to
hire assistants, the CSL also can help you find people with the
appropriate skills for your project.
‡The University is a member of the Consortium for Language Teaching and
Learning, along with the Ivy League schools. Each year the Consortium
provides the University with funds with which to foster language
learning and research projects at the local or national level. The LLA
staff can provide you with a proposal application and guidelines. For
more information, please read the
services
that the CSL provides.
5. Have you checked the Copyright permissions for the
materials you wish to use (if necessary)?
If you plan to use any materials that are
protected by copyright, you will need to determine whether your use
will constitute fair use or will require the permission of the
copyright holder. If your audience is ONLY students and you plan to
distribute your materials ONLY by a secure, password-accessible server
(like Chalk), it is likely that your use will constitute fair use. The
CSL staff can help you determine whether you need to seek copyright
permission. If permission from the copyright holder is required, the
CSL will need a copy of the permission letter before the project can
continue. The University Copyright guideline can be reached
here .
Also, additional copyright information can be found in the following Web sites:
6. Have you consulted with the appropriate Institutional
Review Boards if necessary?
The University of Chicago requires that all
proposals for research or pedagogical development projects using human
subjects be reviewed by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) even if
they do not use Federal funding. IRBs evaluate project protocols and
human subject consent forms to determine whether a project can proceed.
All projects using human subjects and the CSL must have IRB approval.
There are two Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) at the University of
Chicago:
The IRBs meet monthly during the academic year and one or two times in
the summer. Protocols must be submitted to the appropriate IRB office
by a set deadline before the monthly meeting. Please contact the IRB
office directly for specific dates. Protocols are approved for a
twelve-month period and may be submitted for renewal for additional
twelve-month periods.
7. Would you like to archive your project or its related
materials at the CSL?
The CSL is an archive of recorded materials
and is also an approved IRB depository. If decide to archive your
originals at the CSL, you are entitled to one free copy of your
archived materials.
