Under what circumstances do I need to submit my Project Paper proposal to the Human Subjects Institutional Review Board (HSIRB)?
The HSIRB protects the rights and welfare of human research participants. Any Project Paper proposal that involves educational testing, observation of public behavior, surveys, and interviews must be submitted to HSIRB for its review and approval. More information concerning HSIRB can be obtained online here, by contacting the Board at (269) 387-8293, or by consulting an MPA advisor or the Instructor of Record for your Project Paper Seminar course.
