Research Portfolio. 0.80% of the first $300 million of average net assets and 0.55% of average net assets over and above $300 million.
Research Portfolio. The Portfolio is a written record of the students’ efforts to identify literature pertaining to the research topics they select, to allocate this literature to the most appropriate sections of a research proposal format that is compatible with the level of development of the literature supporting their topics, and to compose full-blown synopses of the articles they have allocated to these proposal format sections. The Portfolio development process involves interactions with Personal Research Mentors who are assigned to students and whose role it is to lead the students through each activity in the process. The Mentor provides the students with handouts that describe each of the steps, receives homework assignments from the students, and reviews the homework (offering suggestions for improvement where appropriate). When the Portfolio is complete, the students schedule Oral Defenses with the Vice President for Research, who both mentors them in their preparations for the Oral Defense and leads them through it. When students have responded to any suggestions for improvement emerging from their Oral Defenses, the Vice President guides them through the process of binding their Portfolios.

Research Portfolio. In summary, the major research project and systematic review should: Meet the standards for doctoral level research1. Whilst not as large as a PhD the two papers should report on original research, which advances the knowledge base related to Clinical psychology and be of publishable standard. Typically this research will address a conceptual issue and results should be generalisable – rather than only pertain to a host service for example. Foci may relate to advancing the understanding of psychological presentations, evaluating interventions or professional practices etc. Methodology may be quantitative, qualitative, or a combination thereof as appropriate to the question posed. The project may capitalise on, and become part of, an ongoing research programme in the region in which their supervisor or others are involved. However, it must be demonstrated that the trainee has made a significant independent contribution to the work. The research projects should be written up in paper format suitable for publication, with supplementary chapters as required for examination purposes. Responsibilities of the Academic Supervisor(s): core responsibilities include to: Offer advice and guidance during the generation of the research proposal, especially with regard to issues of research design. Read through and provide written feedback on the research proposal. Advise in the preparation of ethics application(s). Meet with the trainee on a regular basis to monitor progress of work and ensure data collection is proceeding in an ethical manner. Communicate any concerns to the research coordinator. Advise and provide, or help attain, guidance on data analysis. Discuss findings and interpretations with trainee. Discuss format of write-up. Read through and provide written feedback on one full draft of the write-up. Provide supervisor feedback on trainee research activity.
