Augusta University Medical College of Georgia Policy for Review of Educational Research Proposals
Approved by the Curriculum Oversight Committee July 2010 (Amended 2019)
The Office of the Associate Dean for Evaluation and the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs must review and approve educational research projects that fall into Categories 1-3. Projects that fall in Category 4 do not require review and approval.
The Curriculum Oversight Committee charges the Associate Dean for Evaluation in conjunction with the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs with the review and approval of educational research projects. This review and approval process is entirely separate from any required by the Institutional Review Board. The IRB approval is for research subject protection and the additional approval is designed to protect the educational process and provide oversight of the curricular/educational data.
