Frequently
Asked Questions
Q:
I am collecting my data during the semester, but I may
analyze it afterwards. Does that still need to be covered by the IRB?
A:
Yes! Protocols can be approved for up to one year. We recommend that you ask
for approval for the entire year unless you are absolutely certain that you
will not analyze the data past a certain date.
Q:
I am doing pedagogical research from a class that I am teaching. Do I need IRB
approval?
A:
Yes, if you plan to present or publish the work, as it is generalizable
knowledge. If there is any chance that you may want to publish your research
from a class, be sure to get it approved before the class starts so that you
can use the data that you collect!
