				projects involving laboratory animals must be reviewed by the institutional
				animal care and use committee (lACUC) prior to the initiation of the study.
				Student research projects that involve collecting information from or about

				projects involving collection of any kind of information from or about people
				by survey, interview, testing, observation, examination, specimen collection,
				or review of records, graduate students should consult with a member of the
				human subjects review board. This consultation should take place during the

				representative may be obtained from the departmental graduate coordinator or by
				calling the office of research compliance.
Graduate students collecting data or
				carrying on correspondence in connection with a thesis or dissertation may not
				use the name of the university without special written permission of the dean
				designate of the graduate college. Any questionnaires or other materials
				distributed outside the university must receive the prior approval of the
				instructor or advisor in charge of the study before a student seeks approval by
