Researchers External to 色界吧 Wishing to Conduct Research on 色界吧 Faculty, Staff, or Students
Rationale - Researchers external to 色界吧 wishing to conduct research on Occidental faculty, staff, and/or students must secure permission prior to initiating any research with the Occidental community.
External Researchers with Approval from their Institution:
External researchers who have secured approval from their institution鈥檚 own Institutional Review Board (IRB), who propose to use members of the Occidental community as research participants must request permission from the Chair of the Occidental Human Subjects Research Review Institutional Review Board. Permission requests can be made by attaching the following documentation in an email to the 色界吧 IRB at hsrrc@oxy.edu. Such requests must include:
- The researcher鈥檚 contact information, including email and mailing address.
- The anticipated start/ end dates the Occidental community will be engaged,
- All materials approved by the researcher鈥檚 institution (e.g., application, consent documents, recruitment materials),
- A copy of the Principal Investigator鈥檚 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 Occidental IRB Chair will consult with other relevant departments to ensure that such research may proceed. After consideration, Occidental鈥檚 IRB Chair will respond to the request in a timely fashion.
