7. FAQ TIME Commitment? • Generally students complete the Project within 2 semesters so you will have initial contact at the end of one semester as the student submits their proposal to SJSU IRB-HS • Next semester the project is implemented and written up which will require at least 3 rewrites

8. FAQ: Second Advisor & Time • Generally there is much less time required of the Second Advisor. You should discuss the time-line and plan with the First Advisor to be sure you are aware of expected submissions for your review. Most First Advisors make editorial changes and have a nearly finished manuscript before requesting your input.

9. IRB-HS SJSU • All research at SJSU must be submitted to SJSU IRB-HS • Students must get approval from the appropriate agency in which the project will be conducted • The first Advisor must sign the application for IRB-HS & include certificate from “Human Participation Protections Education for Research” http://cme.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials/learning/humanparticipant-protections.asp • Students need to complete the online CE program also and provide you their certificate

11. Authorship (NURS 297) • The student is always the first author • The first Advisor is the second author • The role in relationship to authorship must be discussed between the First and Second Advisor, unless otherwise discussed the Second Advisor is the 3rd author. This means however that all authors have contributed ”significantly” to the work (see course description NURS 297 and APA guidelines). • This includes all professional presentations

12. FAQ What if there is a conflict between Advisors? • Talk, not email, each other • Really listen to the person’s concerns • Mull things over, consider each others perspectives • Consult with me anytime • Do your best to resolve it • Do not involve the student • Role model professional scholarly behaviors
