Study Personnel / Key Personnel

Study personnel are appropriately qualified research staff engaged in human participant research who may perform research related tasks as delegated by the PI. 

 Please see the Initial Studies Page for details on Co-Investigator, Sub-Investigator, and study personnel responsibilities and eligibility.

 If you are seeking to add external or non-affiliated study personnel, please review our Reliance webpage. Requests for Northwestern to serve as the IRB of Record for external personnel or sites are reviewed on a per-study basis to ensure compliance with federal regulations.

 

Individuals who fail to meet Northwestern University Human Research Protections training requirements as outlined below are not qualified to serve as study personnel.

 

Minors (persons under age 18) may not be listed as study personnel nor be “engaged” in the research (interactions with participants or their identifiable data).
