Researchers Not Affiliated with Wartburg College
If you want to collect data from Wartburg College students, faculty or staff members, but you are not affiliated with Wartburg College, you need to submit the following materials to Wartburg’s Human and Animal Research Review Committee (HARRC) for review and approval before you begin data collection:

• A letter describing the following:
  • Your institutional affiliation, your position, and your research training
  • The purpose of the proposed project (e.g., master’s thesis research)
  • Your reasons for collecting data at Wartburg College
• A letter of approval for the project from your home institution’s institutional review board (IRB). If you have not obtained approval from an IRB for some reason (e.g., your institution does not have an IRB), explain this in the letter mentioned above.
• Review the guidelines at the link “Resources for researchers using human subjects” (link is included below). Complete the human subjects protocol form.
• Send all materials listed above in electronic format to HARRC@wartburg.edu. HARRC reviews protocols once a week. Contact the HARRC chairperson for information regarding protocol submission deadlines.
