Research Ethics

"All research involving human subjects conducted in whole or in part by any individual acting on behalf of SVSU (e.g., full- or part-time employees, students, and volunteers) regardless of the physical location of the data collection, shall be submitted to the SVSU IRB for purposes  of oversight and compliance with this policy. This requirement is binding whether the research is externally funded or not and regardless of the source of any such funding." - SVSU IRB Policy & Procedures

All investigators conducting human-subjects research as well as IRB Members are required to complete appropriate training no less frequently than every three years. Such training can be accomplished in a number of differing ways. One way is through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) hosted by University of Miami. The training is free; your access to the training is underwritten by SVSU. Investigators can register and access training at www.citiprogram.org.
