Individual student projects, including research for independent study and theses, involving the collection of data from human subjects (e.g., opinions, behaviors, feelings, personal information) which will also be generalized (e.g., by publishing — including master’s theses; presenting outside the class; citing in another paper; poster presentations) require students to file an IRB application with the IRB. These projects may be eligible for exempt or expedited review. The final decision on review category will be made by the IRB.
