Hunter College Faculty Classroom Practica Form

Institutional Review BoardHunter College Faculty Classroom Practica Form

Courses in research methods or class assignments that involve research with Human Subjects should be submitted for review by the HRPP/IRB. This form is to be used for classroom exercises in which students will be engaged in the process of learning research techniques ONLY.

Research Practica are designed to give students an opportunity to practice various research methods such as interviews, observations, survey techniques , measurements of behavior (e.g, reaction time, speech, problem solving) as well as data analysis. While the class exercise may not fit the standard definition of research in the sense that the results are not intended for publication or for generalization to other situations, the potential for risks to subjects who participate in research class exercises requires that the protocol be registered.

All doctoral dissertation, masters theses and CUNY Honors research projects cannot be registered via this format. These submissions should be submitted via IRBManager.
