Human Subjects Research
All SOE faculty and student research must (by UD and federal policy) receive Human Subjects approval and clearance. See http://www.udel.edu/research/preparing/humansub.html for more information.
IRBNet
All proposals for research involving human subjects (children and adults) should be submitted via the IRBNet Web Site (www.irbnet.org). All needed forms are available in the documents Library on IRBNet (under University of Delaware IRB – Documents for Researchers).
Information on how to register for IRBNet and using the IRBNet system can be found at http://www.udel.edu/research/preparing/irbnet-ataglance.html.
Human Subjects Research Training
Information on dates for campus-wide training and online training (CITI program) on Research with Human Subjects (required of all investigators, advisors, and research staff) can be found at http://www.udel.edu/research/training/compliancetraining.html#hsrb.
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.
Review of Research Meeting Criteria for Expedited Review
When appropriate, proposals for studies that meet the criteria for expedited review will be forwarded by the Research Office to the School of Education's Human Subjects Review Committee. These proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis and can be submitted at any time. Researchers should plan to submit proposals at least one month before research activities are planned to begin.
