Student Submissions

Student-led research projects must be conducted under the supervision of a faculty sponsor who serves as the Principal Investigator (PI). Only full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty and eligible full-time professional staff may serve as Principal Investigators on compliance protocols. Every project, both faculty-led and student-led, must have a primary contact. Please see below for the steps for initiating protocol applications and designating primary contacts for student-led and faculty-led projects.
