Recruitment of UTA Students for Research Conducted by External Parties

UTA prohibits the recruitment of its students or use of student data by external parties for the purpose of human subjects research, unless the project will contribute to research or academic value for the University. To qualify, the project must involve a University employee or student to be engaged in the research project as a true collaborator.  If UTA personnel are not engaged in the research but there is potential for other types of benefit (i.e., sharing of useful data to UTA, a program/service, educational materials), an exception to this policy may be considered.  Requests for a policy exception should be made to the Office of Regulatory Services with an explanation of the potential benefit to UTA or its students. The Office of Regulatory Services will evaluate the request to ensure it meets the intent of this policy, and will facilitate submission of the request to the Office of the Vice President for Research for evaluation and a final determination.
