Research Involving Human Subjects
For the Doctor of Ministry participant whose project involves surveys and/or research on human subjects, in addition to submitting a project proposal, you will be required to obtain formal University approval for your research.
The Office of Scholarly Research (OSR) supplies the application form you must submit to the Institutional Review Board to have your proposed doctoral project research approved. Please type your information on the form.
The Office of Scholarly Research is located in the AU Administration Building, 2nd floor; the phone number is 269-471-6361.
Submit the completed form to the Office of Scholarly Research. Include with the application a research abstract, a research protocol, informed consent forms, a letter of institutional consent, and interview or survey documents or a statement describing the questions to be asked. The OSR does NOT want a copy of the project proposal.
Submit a copy of the OSR application and OSR approval with the project proposal to the DMin project coach. A copy of the OSR approval letter should also be provided for the student's file in the Doctor of Ministry office.
