In both faculty and student research, involving human subjects, whether subject-risk is a possibility or not, collection of data may not begin until WRITTEN APPROVAL has been given by the HSRB. The HSRB has the authority to suspend or terminate research which does not meet its policies. Students who engage in human-subjects research sponsored by non- university organizations and for which the students so involved will register to receive Southwestern Adventist University credit are expected to have the research cleared in advance by the HSRB. All events of injury to subjects during a research project (either on or off-campus) must be reported by the principal investigator to the University physician immediately, and to the HSRB chairperson, both in writing, as soon as possible, within 7 days of the injury. The University physician has the authority in such cases to suspend the research project temporarily, until determination can be made concerning continuation. Consultation between the physician and the HSRB chairperson (and other members, as necessary) will occur before a decision is made on continuation, revision of protocol, or termination of research. Any work with human subjects may resume only upon written authorization by the HSRB chairperson. The decision will be made, and response issued, within 14 days. Back to Review Board Home Page |
