From fsuirb at lists.fsu.edu Mon Mar 8 15:30:09 2021 From: fsuirb at lists.fsu.edu (FSU Institutional Review Board) Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2021 20:30:09 +0000 Subject: [FSU IRB] New Student Research Guidance Message-ID: IMPORTANT UPDATE: New Student-led Research Guidance Available 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: Student-led Research, or: https://www.research.fsu.edu/research-offices/ohsp/student-led-research/. A new guidance document, list of FAQs, key tips, accessible algorithms and important links as well as detailed explanations and footnotes about key concepts, terms and processes are provided throughout the new Student-led Research web page. 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. Contact us at humansubjects at fsu.edu if you have any questions related to the new Student-led Research guidance.

The decision considered emerging scientific data about COVID-19 risks, COVID-19 vaccination and evolving federal agency guidance pertaining to fully vaccinated persons. In around 30 days' time the restriction will be revisited to examine further data and guidance.
