Ph.D. Human Subject Review A very rigorous set of procedures has been established by Indiana University in order to comply with the Federal regulations dealing with the use of human subjects involved in research. All research projects involving human subjects, conducted by faculty and/or students whether or not supported by extramural funds, must be reviewed and approved by a properly constituted and authorized committee, the Institutional Review Board (IRB).Research and Sponsored Programs provide the administrative support services for the Indianapolis IRB. This office should be consulted for all procedures related to the involvement of humans in research. Research involving human subjects may not be initiated without first following the prescribed procedures. No human research is automatically exempt from these procedures.
Appropriate forms can be obtained at: http://www.iupui.edu/~resgrad/spon/download2.htm
All investigators at IUPUI, including doctoral students, must pass a certification test demonstrating basic knowledge of research with human subjects. Information about the Protection of Human Subjects in Research Certification and online test are available at: http://www.iupui.edu/%7Eresgrad/Human%20Subjects/human-menu.htm |
