Recruitment

Many research projects involve recruiting potential participants by advertising in newspapers, on bulletin boards, or through other media. Participant recruitment may also involve contacting individuals listed on rosters provided by organizations. In classroom research the recruitment material used could be a verbal script.  Such advertising and recruiting is part of the research procedure, and investigators should keep in mind that these procedures are subject to approval by the IRB and should not proceed until approval is granted.

For more information on recruitment please see IRB Guideline III, Subject Recruitment and Advertising.
