Good morning COEHD,

Please see the message below from the Research Integrity Office and reach out with any questions:

This is a reminder that research projects with human subjects require approval by the IRB prior to data collection except in very limited situations. Faculty and student researchers who plan to use their students’ data or other human participants’ data need to submit a protocol to the IRB for review and the approval must be obtained prior to collection of the data. There is no regulatory provision for retroactive approval.

Please note that using student data is allowable with prior approval.

The turnaround time for IRB reviews averages 5-10 days and IRB staff response time to questions is typically within 24 hours. We are all happy to help you meet this requirement to support your research.

Submit your IRB protocol

Email the IRB

Visit the IRB website

Thank you,

Mickey
