To Conduct Research at the CDL
Step 1: Submit a research request with a CDL Research Request Proposal
Step 2: Requests are screened by the CDL in terms of factors such as:
- IRB Approval (required)
- Background Checks (required for pulling out children). Background clearances could take up 4-6 weeks depending on the individual. We recommend filling out paperwork in advance of projected research start date.
- Feasibility of proposed methods
- Safety/well-being of child participants
- Project timeline
- Level of required family involvement
- Impact of the research on classroom schedules and CDL research space
Step 3: After receiving project approval at the CDL, you must:
- Send immunization records for every researcher who will be present at the CDL to the CDL Associate Director (more information will be sent to you on this)
- Records will need to show you have received your TDap (1 dose) and MMR vaccinations (2 doses)
- Schedule an orientation with the Research team
- Schedule classroom time and research pull-out space with the Associate Director
- Be available to respond to questions and concerns raised by parents
