As discussed in the “Dissertation Proposal Development Seminar- PSYD 849” section, students will present their research proposals to their committees during their Proposal Meetings. To move forward with the project, the committee must agree that the student has presented a viable research proposal. All committee members will complete the Scholarship Competencies Evaluation Rubric (via Tevera) at two stages in the dissertation process: 1) After the Proposal Meeting, and 2) After approving the final draft of the dissertation. These rubrics are used to rate the quality of the student’s work on the dissertation and can be found in Tevera . • Chair’s approval: The chair has four weeks to read drafts and suggest changes. After changes are made, the chair again has four weeks to read the revised version of the draft and so forth, until the proposal/final draft meets passing expectations. Note: It will likely take several drafts back and forth before the chair indicates that the proposal/final draft meets passing expectations. • Readers’ approval: The readers have four weeks to read drafts and suggest changes. After changes are made, the readers again have four weeks to read the revised version of the draft and so forth, until the proposal/final draft meets passing expectations. Note: It will likely take one to three drafts back and forth before the committee indicates that the proposal/final draft meets passing expectations.
Important: Committee members have up to four weeks per draft to read drafts and give feedback. It will likely take one to three drafts before approval. Students should plan accordingly and focus on submitting their best work in the first draft.
If students have not heard from their committee members by the 4-week deadline, they should reach out to the committee member. If there are concerns about turnaround time from committee members, students may seek support from their chair or the Program Director.
Deadlines
Deadlines to Apply for Internship Incorporating all feedback from the Proposal Meeting, students will submit a complete research proposal to their chair; the chair then approves sending it to the rest of the committee. A complete research proposal has a full review of the literature and a complete, detailed research design. Following the full committee’s approval of the dissertation research proposal, students then develop an application to the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Students must first submit the application to their chair for approval, before then submitting it to the IRB. Students must submit to the IRB no later than June 1 to apply for internship. For additional information, please see the eligibility section of the internship search manual. As such, to apply for internship, students are required to do the following tasks no later than June 1 of the year they plan to apply for internship: 1. Obtain full committee approval of their dissertation research proposal
