Use of Human Subjects in Research  

Federalwide Assurance  

If the activity is research, then you need to ask, does the research involve any HUMAN SUBJECTS?

A human subject is involved if:

• The person is alive and
  
  
• Data pertaining to the person will be obtained through:
  
  
  • Intervention (e.g., taking a blood sample).
    
    
  • Interaction (e.g., administering a questionnaire).
    
    
  • A private/confidential source (e.g., from a medical record or school transcript).
