Research Approval
All research involving human subjects, animal care and use, and biosafety conducted by faculty and students in any program at PSU must have the appropriate research approval. This policy applies to all research under the auspices of the University, including surveys and questionnaires, whether supported by grant, contract, gift, University, or personal funds. Research Integrity and Compliance provides administrative oversight for research approvals. Students must consult with their advisers regarding the applicability of research approval for their research topics.
