B07 - College Students and Research: Challenges and Issues for IRBs

Tuesday, November 16, 2021
1:15 PM – 2:15 PM ET
Location: On-Demand
On-Demand Session CIP Accredited
A considerable amount of research takes place on college/university campuses involving college students as subjects. This includes research on novel educational strategies and the use of departmental pools of introductory-level students to participate in research studies and other projects for credit (subject pools). This session will review regulatory and legal standards, as well as the specific ethical issues that arise when reviewing research in which college students on campus are subjects, and when they may serve as investigators or study staff. Session Note: This session was presented at AER20. We’re offering on-demand access during SBER21 for additional access to SBER-related content.

Learning Objectives:

  • Provide a high-level overview of pertinent laws and regulations affecting this population (e.g., the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Title IX)
  • Identify the issues that frequently arise when conducting research on a university/college campus, including best practices for addressing ethical issues (e.g., instructors recruiting their own students, students who are minors, etc.)
  • Discuss the issues that arise when college students conduct research, either as principal investigator or student investigator
  • Outline the issues that arise with the operation of university/college subject pools and best practices for addressing these issues
  • Review the role of the HRPP in educating student researchers
