Student Submissions

With the introduction of Cayuse IRB, students will no longer be listed as Principal Investigators. If a research study is student-led, the student should identify their faculty sponsor as the PI and list themselves as the Primary Contact.  A student can also serve as the Primary Contact on a faculty/staff-led research study as well.  Please see below for the correct steps needed in both situations.

1. Attend Cayuse IRB Training (not mandatory)
2. Start IRB process- Choose “New Study”, enter study title –  Preface title with “SS” (e.g., “SS Word Play in Child Development”)
