Tagged: Dissertation, IRB, RCR, Thesis
Our office of responsible conduct of research has asked if graduate schools have hard established policies concerning dissertation or thesis work that should have an IRB review, being completed without an IRB review. For example, would your graduate school prevent a student from graduating if they should have applied for an IRB but did not. Also, are there different policies for masters students than doctoral studets.
We do not have a policy in writing now that I think about it, but in the past, previous Deans of our Graduate School have met with the program and project mentor to let them know that we cannot publish the thesis and we need to move the student to a non-thesis option for the degree. This has not happened in the time that I’ve been interim Dean, so I can’t speak about anything I have done personally. But I do think I will start our team working on developing a policy!
