Faculty and Students

Human Subjects Approval

All SOE faculty and student research must (by UD and federal policy) receive Human Subjects approval and clearance.

All proposals for research involving human subjects should be submitted via the IRBnet Web Site (www.irbnet.org). When appropriate, proposals for studies that meet the criteria for expedited review will be forwarded by IRBnet to the School of Education's Human Subjects Review Committee.

Information on how to register for IRBnet and dates for campus-wide training on Research with Human Subjects (required of all investigators, advisors, and research staff) and using the IRBnet system can be found at http://www.udel.edu/research/preparing/humansub.html.

Specific questions about protocol submission and using IRBNet may be addressed to [hsrb-research@udel.edu] or by calling the UD Research Office at (302) 831-2137.
