Roles & Responsibilities

When conducting human subjects research there are certain expectations that the research team must meet. The roles of the research team and their corresponding responsibilities are outlined below.

As outlined in HRP-103: Investigator Manual, the PI is ultimately responsible for the conduct of the research. Research responsibility may be delegated to research staff; however, PIs must maintain oversight and retain ultimate responsibility for the conduct of those to whom they delegate responsibility.

أغجاض±²¥ Boulder IRB recognizes faculty and staff members with University-paid appointments as PIs. Protocols that require skills beyond those held by the PI must be modified to meet the investigator's skills or have one or more additional qualified faculty as co-investigator(s).

For eRA purposes, once the Initial Application is approved the PI will have ability to create, modify and submit all submission types.

أغجاض±²¥ Boulder students (graduate or undergraduate) may conduct research involving human participants only under the direction of a أغجاض±²¥ Boulder faculty member who is the Principal Investigator for the research.
