Welcome

Welcome to the website for faculty, staff, and students who conduct research with human subjects. The resources on this site are designed to help Investigators secure approval to conduct research with human subjects and carry out their work in an ethical manner.

To get started please go to “Protecting Human Subjects at RIT”.  You will find general information about submitting human subjects research activities as well as criteria for approval and guidance for conducting your research.
