IRB and DUA checklist

Team   Date

Two questions about the research idea you are proposing. A team that needs neither ticks "no" twice, says why, and signs. That is a complete sheet.

The question, in one line

1 · Does the project need an IRB application? Tick one, then the branch of Cornell's decision tree that says so: no people and no identifiable rows · existing data you cannot link to a living person · results stay with one organisation · yes, because you interact with people or hold identifiable rows and the results leave the course.

no yes ask irbhp@cornell.edu

If yes, the level you expect: exempt expedited full board  ·  and the draft goes to the advisor by

2 · Does any data source need a data-use agreement? One row per source. Public means anybody can download it. Licensed means Cornell pays for it and its terms apply (WRDS, Compustat, Dewey, the library databases). Restricted means a firm or an agency holds it and nothing moves until an agreement is signed.

Source	Who holds it	Access	Agreement needed
		public licensed restricted	no yes ask OSP
		public licensed restricted	no yes ask OSP
		public licensed restricted	no yes ask OSP
		public licensed restricted	no yes ask OSP

For every licensed source, we have read the terms: yes not yet  ·  For every restricted source, plan B is:

	yes no	yes not yet
	yes no	yes not yet
	yes no	yes not yet
	yes no	yes not yet
	yes no	yes not yet

The slowest gate is and it has to start by .

This is a statement, not a worksheet, which is why every member signs it. Into the envelope before you leave. If question 1 is yes or ask: every member's CITI human-participants training certificate on Canvas before meeting 6, Wednesday September 30.
