Events

 

 

  • Faculty Advisors in the Traditional Undergraduate Programs – Fall 2020 Registration began as scheduled on Monday, March 16.  During these extraordinary times and in consultation with the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs in the School of Management, we have decided to grant advising clearance to all the students who hadn’t yet been cleared.  This was intended to remove a barrier to registration and we have still encouraged them to finish their advising virtually with you.  Please click here to view the message sent to students.

  • IRB Guidance for Changes Needed to Currently Approved Research Studies - During this time, we understand that many of you may need to make certain changes in order to continue with your research study and have questions of whether or not you need to submit these changes to the IRB Committee. Studies that were granted an Exempt determination can make changes withoutsubmitting to the IRB, so long as those changes do not increase the risk for participants. If the risk for participants is more than minimal, this would bump the study up to an Expedited review. If, however, the study was approved under an Expedited category or by the Full Board, then the study team will need to submit a modification to the IRB for approval before they can implement the desired changes. Once the IRB approves the modification, the study team is free to implement the changes to their protocol.  It is important for investigators to know the review pathway of their protocol before moving forward (i.e. exempt, expedited, or full board). New studies that were reviewed in the last several months should have an approval letter (expedited) or an exemption letter on file. If study teams are not sure of their review determination (exempt/expedited) or are not sure if any changes that need to be made might impact the original determination, please contact the IRB Committee at irb@callutheran.edu. Please also know that the IRB Committee is still working remotely and reviewing studies via email, per our previous procedures.
