I had a chance to meet with Dr. Newberry and fellow classmates today at the pizza parlor. Valuable information was shared and I found out that the IRB needs to be done ASAP if I want to get surveys done before school is out.
FYI: Before filling out the IRB, you need to do the coursework for CITI (The program for the protection of human research subjects). It's a bit time consuming to read the information and take the quizzes, so I suggest that you start right away.
But reading the information really helped me to think about my project, paying close attention to the protection of the human subjects that I will be needing. Interesing information!

Thanks for the tip. I am hoping to start tonight. I copied some of the pages but need to check it out more seriously without students interrupting.
ReplyDeleteSo, if my open ID works, I can now comment on your blog! The CITI modules do take some time, but I agree that it is time well spent. Good luck on your project development!
ReplyDeleteThe CITI definitely took more than two hours for me, so either I read slower than Dr. Newberry or you need to cheat to get through it all in two hours. I am finished now and trying to finish up the rest of the work for this week. I am taking a break from the IRB proposal because I'm not sure how we are supposed to complete two of the sections. Did you have trouble with the last two sections of comments?
ReplyDeleteThat sort of sounds like I think Dr. Newberry cheated to finish in less than two hours. Quite the contrary. What I meant was that because he is very familiar with the material he could finish it in less than two hours, while those of us who are newbies to the material would have to be speed readers or cheat to finish in two hours.
ReplyDeleteHeidi, what "group" did you register under at the CITI site? I chose "Group 2: Social Behavioral Research Investigators and Key Personnel." Is this correct? I still need to keep plugging away on my modules...
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the IRB - it is a long document to read, and you have to continually consider if any of these circumstances apply in any way to your study.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that you are keeping up with the work and getting it done before the weekend. I will try to do the same this week.
Heidi I'm assuming you saw Mimi's blog about how she couldn't post on your site. I don't know what the problem is. Sometimes I have trouble with the blogs that ask for these codes but eventually they go through.
