What do you need to do before conducting research involving human subjects in order to comply with UA regulations?
All prospective researchers must undergo online training to demonstrate that they understand their ethical and legal obligations to protect participants; issues include "informed consent," risks to the health or safety of participants, and related ethical considerations. Completing the training is the first step in the process. Subsequently, you must apply for approval from the UA’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) before beginning your research.
