Senior Level Research Students ONLY
review the following:
The work of the Scientific Review Committee (SRC) is crucial both to student and subject safety during the research process, and to the credibility of the students’ research when they go on to present it.
The Ying TRSEF can review your SRC paperwork before you actually start the registration process, BUT IT IS BETTER TO HAVE A LOCAL COMMITTEE DO THE INITIAL REVIEW. Submit completed forms to your school’s Scientific Review Committee (SRC), the sponsoring company’s or college’s Institutional Review Board (IRB), or the Ying TRSEF SRC/IRB. Scan your completed paperwork to create a single PDF and email the file to the Ying TRSEF.
THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED!

After a project has received SRC or IRB approval, the student must submit any changes to the research plan for approval as well. This must be done immediately.
Remember, if your project involves human subjects and is not reviewed by an SRC or IRB at your school or sponsoring institution, no experimentation can begin until the Ying TRSEF notifies the student of project approval. Contact the Ying TRSEF immediately concerning already completed projects.
