TMBCI Research Protection Act was adopted into law July 31, 2014. It is a violation of the law to bypass the Research Review Board before conducting any type of research or data collection of the TMBCI tribe.​​

Please adhere to all policy and procedures linked below before submitting a research or data collection proposal.

When collecting data please always have respect for the community, the people, their culture, and their lands. Respect is a teaching of the Chippewa people that we hold in high regards. To build a trusting relationship, respect must be earned/given.

Tribal/Reservation communities have qualified individuals available to help you understand the data needs, so reach out to them before conducting research. If you need help contacting someone, call TNRG.

If you collect the data, do something with the data.
