Policy and Procedures for Employees Completing Degrees at Other Institutions
Employees who are completing degrees at other universities often have to conduct research as part of their curriculum within classes or associated with a thesis or dissertation. In most cases, the universities where they are completing their degrees have Institutional Review Boards. Additionally, the employee is often required to receive IRB approval from these institutions before conducting research. In these cases, to avoid inefficiencies and unnecessary complications, the employee will not be required to receive IRB approval at 麻豆果冻传媒. Instead, they must complete the IRB Certification Form for Employee Completing Degree Other Institution and provide the IRB approval letter from the other institution to the 麻豆果冻传媒 IRB. Once the 麻豆果冻传媒 IRB receives the Form and the IRB approval letter from the other institution, the IRB Chairperson will review the documents. If the approval letter is satisfactory, then the IRB Chairperson will sign the Form and notify the 麻豆果冻传媒 Principal Investigator. The research cannot begin until the 麻豆果冻传媒 IRB Chairperson has notified the 麻豆果冻传媒 Principal Investigator that the necessary documents have been received and are satisfactory.
If, at any point during the research process, any issues arise related to the treatment of the human subjects, the Principal Investigator must notify the IRB at the institution where they are pursuing their degree and the 麻豆果冻传媒 IRB.
