<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The OHSP has published new guidance aimed at FSU students that plan to conduct human research (“student-led research”). The new guidance and other resources are now available
at this OHSP web page: <a href="https://www.research.fsu.edu/research-offices/ohsp/student-led-research/">Student-led Research</a>, or: <a href="https://www.research.fsu.edu/research-offices/ohsp/student-led-research/" title="https://www.research.fsu.edu/research-offices/ohsp/student-led-research/">https://www.research.fsu.edu/research-offices/ohsp/student-led-research/</a>.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The OHSP and IRB have always experienced a high-volume of student inquiries about FSU human research review requirements, as well as persistent issues with submitted student-led
research, which comprises more than 40% of all RAMP IRB submissions. It is well past time that we compiled specific guidance in a central location and which guidance is devoted and responsive to our large community of student researchers.
