17³Ô¹Ï

Rationale - Researchers external to 17³Ô¹Ï wishing to conduct research on 17³Ô¹Ï faculty, staff, and/or students must secure permission prior to initiating any research with the 17³Ô¹Ï community.

External Researchers with Approval from their Institution:

External researchers who have secured approval from their institution’s own Institutional Review Board (IRB), who propose to use members of the 17³Ô¹Ï community as research participants must request permission from the Chair of the 17³Ô¹Ï Human Subjects Research Review Institutional Review Board.  Permission requests can be made by attaching the following documentation in an email to the 17³Ô¹Ï IRB at hsrrc@oxy.edu.  Such requests must include:

• The researcher’s contact information, including email and mailing address.
• The anticipated start/ end dates the 17³Ô¹Ï community will be engaged,
• All materials approved by the researcher’s institution (e.g., application, consent documents, recruitment materials),
• A copy of the Principal Investigator’s experience/ expertise related to the research (e.g., resume, CV),
• A copy of research training for the Principal Investigator (e.g., through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative [CITI] program), and
• A copy of the IRB approval letter.

During the review of such a request, the 17³Ô¹Ï IRB Chair will consult with other relevant departments to ensure that such research may proceed. After consideration, 17³Ô¹Ï’s IRB Chair will respond to the request in a timely fashion.
