Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3339 - Miami University › Chapter 3339-15 - Human Subjects for Research › Section 3339-15-08 - Research involving human subjects

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
Miami university is guided by ethical
				principles regarding all research involving humans as subjects. These
				principles have been set forth in the report of the national commission for the
				protection of human subjects of biomedical and behavioral research entitled
				"Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects in
				Research (The Belmont Report)." In addition, requirements set forth in the
				common federal policy for the protection of human subjects will be met for all
				research funded by the federal government.
To this end, the board of trustees has
				approved an "Assurance of Compliance" with federal regulations for the
				protection of human subjects. The institutional review board for human subjects
				research is designated as the institutional review board for Miami university.
				The office for the advancement of research and scholarship provides
				administrative support for their work.
To assure the protection of human
				subjects and to comply with federal law, Miami university requires that, prior
				to initiation, all research projects involving human subjects must be reviewed
				and approved, or certified as exempt, by the university institutional review
				board for human subjects research or a divisional or departmental committee to
				which the institutional review board for human subjects research has delegated
				review authority, if the research:
(A)
								Is sponsored by
			 Miami university; or
(B)
								Is conducted by or under the direction of faculty,
			 staff, or students of Miami university in connection with their institutional
			 responsibilities; or
(C)
								Is conducted by or under the direction of faculty,
			 staff, or students of Miami university using any property or facility of the
			 university; or
(D)
								Involves the use of Miami university's nonpublic
			 information to identify or contact human research subjects or prospective
			 subjects.
This policy applies to graduate and
				undergraduate student research projects which are intended for dissemination
				beyond the classroom. Student projects designed to provide research training to
				students which are not intended for dissemination beyond the classroom are not
				covered by this policy.
The university institutional review
				board for human subjects research has developed "Guidelines for Research
				Involving Human Subjects." These guidelines are applicable to all research with
				human subjects. It is the responsibility of the faculty or staff member to be
				familiar with these rules, to see that they are followed by students and other
				coworkers, and to forward research projects either to the university
				institutional review board for human subjects research, or as otherwise
				provided.
Questions may be directed to the chair
				of the institutional review board for human subjects research, or to the office
				for the advancement of research and scholarship.
