Policies & Procedures

Investigators may not initiate any research involving humans until they have received notification of IRB approval and have agreed to comply with all contingencies made in connection with that approval.

TCNJ IRB Policy Manual


Restrictions

All Primary Investigators (PIs) must be faculty or staff at The College of New Jersey.  While we encourage students to conduct research, students are not allowed serve as the PI on proposals submitted to the IRB. Students do have access to the iMedris system and may complete IRB applications, but the faculty sponsor must be the designated PI and is the only person able to hit the final submit button.
