Turtle Mountain College (TMC) encourages healthy research processes for the purpose of student learning, to increase knowledge in a particular field, and in order that the institutional mission is advanced in a discernible manner.
The research committee at TMC exists to examine research processes within the institution. From discussing broad research processes to exploring research in the context of the college’s indigenous identity, this committee meets once each semester to explore timely subject matter related to research.
Additionally, the research approval subcommittee functions as a preliminary internal mechanism for institutional approval for the research process. This committee examines basic details of new research requests to ensure alignment to institutional mission, and it reviews very broad aspects of a research process.

Tribal Nations Research Group serves as the official research review board for TMC. For any research project involving the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians—including studies involving TMC—approval is required through this entity. Please contact this organization to submit a protocol for review. Note: research involving TMCC must receive TMC subcommittee review first using the form referenced above.
