  •  All research involving human participants must be reviewed by the IRB. If you are planning a senior thesis that involves interviewing, testing, or observing other people, you must first obtain IRB approval for your methods.

   

  • There is no retroactive review.  All IRB approvals must be obtained in advance of beginning your research.
