Notice Regarding Research Involving Human Subjects

California State University, Dominguez Hills Institutional Review Board Policy: The United States Department of Health and Human Services Code of Federal Regulations Title 45, Part 46 states that the Institutional Review Board (IRB) shall establish “a statement of principles governing the institution in the discharge of its responsibilities for protecting the rights and welfare of human subjects of research conducted at or cosponsored by the institution.” In accordance with this mandate, the California State University, Dominguez Hills IRB has institutional responsibility for:
1. Assurance of protection of human subjects involved in research or related activities;
2. Assurance that the University fulfills its federally mandated and ethical obligations relative to the protection
of human subjects; and
3. Maintenance of practices and procedures for protection of human subjects which are, at a minimum, in
accord with applicable regulations of funding and regulatory agencies.
(http://www4.csudh.edu/Assets/CSUDH-Sites/ORFP/docs/Institutional-Review-Board-(IRB)/IRB_policy )

According to CSUDH Institutional Review Board Administrators:
“In general, our Institution does not require IRB approval for capstone classes like we do for thesis projects. The capstone projects do not meet the federal definition of research which is “Research means a systematic investigation, including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge.” We don’t consider the capstone course final project one that is designed to contribute to generalizable knowledge.
However, this is not to say that the students cannot submit their projects for IRB approval
if they plan to publish or otherwise disseminate their findings.
If this is the case, please be aware that it takes 2-4 weeks to get a project through IRB approval and they can’t begin collecting data until it is approved.”
For further information on IRB requirements, please visit http://www4.csudh.edu/research/research-compliance/irb/index.
