According to this policy, research activities that (1) intervene in people’s lives, observe human behavior, or (2) use data obtained directly or indirectly from living individuals must be reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board to ensure: • • •
Risks to subjects will be minimized and reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits, Informed consent will be obtained from subjects and appropriately documented, and The privacy and safety of subjects will be maintained.
Once the committee approves the proposed research, all students and faculty conducting the research that involves human subjects must receive approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the Protection of Human Subjects at SCSU prior to commencing the dissertation research. Please work with and obtain approval from your adviser prior to submitting your application. Contact Information.
