Which CUNY Institutional Review Board to Choose?
Principal Investigators (PIs)(Section 16.1 CUNY Human Research Protections Program Policies and Procedures) 16.1.1.1 Only CUNY faculty or staff members with University- or RFCUNY-paid appointments may serve as the PI or faculty advisor on a research project involving human subjects that is carried out under the auspices of CUNY and is not exempt from the Federal Regulations. 16.1.1.2 Adjunct faculty of the University and any investigator whose status is considered to be “in training” (that is, undergraduate students) may serve as a PI for exempt research only, and may serve as a co-investigator for nonexempt research. 16.1.1.3 The IRB shall recognize only one PI for each study. The PI is ultimately responsible for the conduct of research. Principal Investigators may delegate research activities. However, PIs retain ultimate responsibility for the conduct of those to whom they delegate responsibility. If a research protocol requires skills beyond those held by the PI, it is the PI’s responsibility to see that the protocol is modified to meet the PI's skills or to include one or more additional qualified individuals as co-investigator(s). 16.1.2 Undergraduate Student Investigators. With the exception of exempt research, undergraduate students may not serve as PIs unless they have a faculty advisor who fulfills the PI eligibility criteria and will sign the application, and who will serve as co-investigator and faculty advisor on the study. Student investigators and faculty advisors must receive appropriate training in human research protections (See Section 16.9).
