RESEARCHERS NOT AFFILIATED WITH WEBSTER UNIVERSITY

Often researchers from other institutions want to collect data using Webster University faculty, staff, or students. The following criteria apply to this situation:
 
• Researchers must have received IRB approval from their own educational insitution. In this instance, the researcher will likely have to provide the board with a copy of the IRB application and approval letter.
• Student researchers without off-site IRB approval will need to go through the Webster IRB process. They are required to have a faculty mentor/advisor.
• Faculty researchers without off-site IRB approval will need to go through the Webster IRB process. They are required to have the permission of the appropriate Webster Dean.
• Corporate researchers will also need to go through the Webster IRB process.


Please contact the IRB Chair if you have any questions or are the least bit unsure whether to submit a project for review.
