How to Request Student Subjects

The EDP Subject Pool is only available in the fall and spring semesters. To request student subjects, you must submit your study information online through the EDP Subject Pool Study Administration website.

The information provide through this web site will form the basis for the Subject Pool Request Form. Please print and submit this form to Nicole Landes in SZB 504 by the 12th class day no later than 5 P.M. Nicole will submit all requests to the Subject Pool Coordinator. The Subject Pool Committee will meet approximately one month after the beginning of the semester to assign subjects. Researchers should realize that the number of subjects and the time allotted to your study by the Committee may be different from what you requested, depending on the constraints faced by the Committee each semester.

Your study must first be approved by the Department Review Committee (DRC) before the Subject Pool Committee can act on your request. The DRC (the officially designated representative of The University's Institutional Review Board) will examine your proposed study to determine if it complies with University policies regarding the ethical treatment of research participants. If you have not obtained DRC approval, your request for subjects will be delayed or even rejected for the semester. You study must also have IRB approval

Application to the DRC and IRB is made through the IRBaccess application process. Under Step 2, #3, enter Toni Falbo's EID (falbotl) as Department Review Chair; for #4 enter, Nicole Landes' EID (landesnl) as the Research Assistant/Project Coordinator.

Note that you will not be allowed to enroll or collect data for your study until you've received full IRB approval.

Graduate Student Researchers. Graduate student researchers must have a faculty sponsor for their research. If your study is part of your dissertation, you need the sponsorship of your committee supervisor, and you must have successfully completed your dissertation proposal meeting. Your request for subjects will be delayed or rejected for the semester if you fail to meet these requirements.
