6.9 Research Ethics with Human Subjects
Instrumentation used to gather research data from human subjects (interview, questions, surveys, inventories, etc.) must be approved by the Research Ethics Committee before distribution for field testing or data collection. The Research Ethics Committee is composed of the Dean of CSGS, the Program Director for Doctoral Studies, and CSGS Administration. Protocols for securing permission to use human subjects in the research will be approved by this Committee and made available to students both in research classes and on this web site.
Distribution of research instrumentation before approval of the Research Ethics Committee will result in immediate termination from the program of studies.
Field testing or gathering data with instrumentation prior to the prospectus hearing will result in immediate termination from the program of studies. Contact your supervisor to discuss field testing options.
