Student researchers will, at times, develop ideas for research projects as part of a senior thesis, master’s project or doctoral dissertation. that involve using data collected on a faculty advisor’s IRB approved protocol. The IRB will allow this provided the level of risk does not change, no additional benefits are realized by participants, and the scope of the student’s research project does not significantly differ from the parent protocol.
Rather than burden a student researcher with completing a full application for review and approval, the IRB has developed a Thesis, Masters or Dissertation Research Notification form. This form will assist the IRB in monitoring if the planned activities of the project are already part of a previously IRB approved protocol and/or if there will be any modifications (to risks, consent processes, use of identifiers, etc.) during the course of the research project that will change the provisions of the approved protocol.
If you have a project that falls within this category, download this form (http://www.umbc.edu/irb/tmdr_application.doc) and follow the directions.
