Guidelines for Northeastern University Student Research Projects Involving Human Subjects

This guide outlines the application process for student research projects involving human subjects at Northeastern University. The process takes 2-8 weeks and includes specific criteria for small studies that may not require IRB approval, provided certain conditions are met, such as benign subject matter, verbal consent, and no active deception. Students must submit proposals to their instructors and can utilize verbal consent procedures to ensure ethical compliance in their research practices. Always prioritize participant rights and transparency.
