How do I recruit participants from agencies or institutions off campus?
Mills approval does not extend to other institutions. If you plan to recruit participants from locations off campus, you first must complete the Mills College human subjects review process. Upon approval of your project, you may then contact other institutions for permission to recruit participants. If the institution has its own human subjects review board, you will need to submit your protocol to this board. If you are recruiting participants using class announcements at other educational institutions (including elementary and high schools), be sure to check with the school principal or dean to find out more about that institution’s specific recruitment rules. Classroom teachers often do not know these rules, so be prepared to speak with the institution’s administrators.
