If I am a student, can the review process begin before my faculty advisor has read the proposal and signed the title page?
No. Student projects must be reviewed first by faculty advisors prior to submitting the protocol to the committee. Overview by your faculty advisor is advantageous as faculty can help you submit a thorough protocol and, thus, decrease the amount of time your proposal is under committee review. The committee will not initiate the review process if title page is incomplete. Be sure to get your faculty advisor’s signature prior to submitting your proposal.
