IRB Approvals Received

(March 15, 2007) Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for major portions of the Higher Education TechQual+ Project investigations were received today from the Institutional Review Board of Seaver College at Pepperdine University.  Both the qualitative focus groups and the quantitative assessment testing activities were determined to be exempt from IRB oversight under federal regulations.

The IRB applications and approval documents have been uploaded into the file manager on the TechQual+ website. Project participants may download these documents and use them to request expedited, exempt IRB approvals from their own institutions. For more information please email Dr. Timothy M. Chester at timothy.chester@pepperdine.edu.
