Human Subjects Research

Human Subjects Research: Face-to-face human subjects research where there is international research involving human subject’s require approval from the Institutional Safety Committee (ISC) before commencing. 

We strongly encourage continue use of remote work whenever possible. Principal Investigators (PIs) and Faculty Advisors (FAs) are ultimately responsible for identifying and minimizing risks in human subjects research protocols, and for pausing research which cannot be safely conducted. If your proposed research study will involve international subjects, develop a mitigation plan following the Tufts University Research Infection Control Manual and contact Ann-Marie Billig (Ann-Marie.Billig@tufts.edu) so she can complete  the Ramp Up Request Form below in order for you to receive ISC approval to conduct these international research activities.
