Institutional Review Board Approval (IRB) All research investigators at USF are responsible for making the initial determination as to whether their research will involve human subjects as defined in the Quick Start Guide for Investigators (2004), available online at http://www.research.usf.edu/cs/quickstart.htm. When it is not clear whether the research involves human subjects, research investigators must seek assistance from the USF Office of Research. If it is determined that human subjects are involved, the investigator is responsible for applying for review by the appropriate IRB. This task is accomplished by research investigators preparing a protocol giving a complete description of the proposed research, a detailed application and, when appropriate, a sample of the proposed informed consent form. All forms can be found online at http://www.research.usf.edu/dric/ As a part of the application process, the student should ensure that adequate scientific review of the research study has been performed, via the student's signature, the major professor's signature, and the signature of the DrPH Program Director or designee before the IRB form is forwarded. All doctoral students must complete the IRB training during their first semester following admission. IRB training courses are available online at http://www.research.usf.edu/dric/ |
