The Human Subjects Research Review Committee will formulate recommendations and policies for review of research and protocols for research conducted with human subjects at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Any proposals for research using human subjects by Southeastern’s faculty, undergraduate or graduate students, will be required to be submitted for review and approval by the Human Subjects Research Review Committee. Provided, however, research which is part of a course requirement would be the responsibility of the professor teaching the course and would be expected to comply with established ethical and legal standards. Applicable research initiated by someone outside the SOSU community in which a SOSU faculty member is participating will also be subject to review and approval by the Southeastern Human Subjects Research Review Committee. In such a case, all that the Human Subjects Research Review Committee would require is a letter of approval from the initiating individual’s institution stating that the subject research proposal has been approved by the Human Subjects Research Review Committee/Institutional Research Board at that institution.
