The designation of Classroom Project is used for course activities in which students conduct a systematic investigation involving human subjects for instructional purposes only<\/u>. Classroom Projects are distinguished from federally defined research\u00a0projects by the fact that the projects are not designed to develop or to contribute to generalizable knowledge and are not intended to be shared beyond the instructional setting of Marymount University. Their purpose is instructional only. As such, classroom projects do NOT fall under the purview of the IRB.<\/p>\n

However, there is University oversight for classroom project research. The Marymount Office of Research, in collaboration with the IRB committee, establishes and oversees enforcement of University Policies governing the protection of human subjects for Classroom Research Projects.<\/p>\n

In situations where the classroom research project involves Human Subjects, the faculty instructor is responsible for project oversight, assuring students are adequately trained, and that activities are within the scope of ethical conduct. All classroom projects must adhere to the requirements described below.<\/p>\n
