Research with Human Subjects
If you propose to include humans as subjects in a project (this includes surveys, questionnaires, psychological testing, tissues, blood, organs, etc., as well as the use of people in various activities or scientific research), you must contact the Human Subjects Protection Committee before beginning. Mount Saint Mary’s University, Los Angeles policy and federal regulations require that all such projects be reviewed. You will need to file protocol forms describing your project, and the Human Subjects Protection Committee must review and approve your application. Program advisors will inform graduate students regarding the appropriate procedures and timelines for the submission of research proposals to the Mount Saint Mary’s University, Los Angeles Human Subjects Protection Committee. A copy of the form used to submit research proposal information is included on the University website under “IRB Application.”
See the MSMU website, Research with Human Subjects, for current regulations.
