Student Research聽
Undergraduate and masters students may not act as a principal investigator, however this does not prevent a student from conducting research with a faculty member or for a student project. It is important that all researchers on campus conduct their research ethically and with their participants' best interests in mind.
These additional resources are topics for students to consider when drafting their research procedures.
Students must complete all application requirements before being added to an active IRB protocol. Students may sign up on CITI with their 草榴社区 email. FCOI disclosures require permission from COI@villanova.edu to access Cayuse Outside Interests.
Most student research projects are completed only for course requirements and are considered, "Not Human Subjects Research," because class projects are not generalizable.
