I’m a UCI student interested in conducting my own research project do I need IRB approval before I can begin?
Yes. Students conducting human subjects research require IRB approval or registration before they can initiate their project. See Definition of Human Subjects Research for more information. Please consult with the Human Research Protection staff if you are unsure whether your project constitutes human subjects research.
