*************************************************************************
When an investigator obtains data through intervention or interaction with a living individual or accesses identifiable private personal information, the IRB should be consulted.
Human Subject Research
The University’s policy on the use of human subjects encompasses research development, testing, and evaluation designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge. Please make sure to read BSU's COVID-19 Human Subjects Research Guidelines.
Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI)
CITI is the training site for certification of training in human subject research, animal subject research and responsible conduct of research. Certification is valid for 4 years and will need to be renewed upon expiration.
Please read: BSU COVID-19 Human Subjects Research Guidelines, IRB policies and procedures, including board membership, conflict of interest, meeting procedures, and investigator guidelines.
IMPORTANT
NOTE FROM THE IRB CHAIR:
Please remember that
as the Principal Investigator (“PI”), you
are ultimately responsible for the application, materials, project execution, and
overall accuracy of the application prior to submitting it for IRB
review. As PI, you should be communicating with the IRB should it be
necessary, not your students. It is NOT
the responsibility of the IRB Committee to serve as an additional editor and
advisor for student projects.
The IRB's charge is ethical, not education. We are focused on regulatory compliance with federal guidelines.
Thank you in advance for ensuring that all of your submissions are fully complete, professonal and clearly written, otherwise the application will be denied.
