I understand that if human or animal subjects are involved in my research(including thesis research), it is my responsibility to file a
research protocol application with the Institutional Review Board (Sam H. Ingram Building, 011B) before I begin collecting data.
Failure to secure this permission prior to conducting my data collection using human or animal subjects will negate the use of that
data for any academic purpose including thesis.
