Project Restrictions
Joint Projects Are Not Acceptable
Dissertations written jointly by two or more students are not acceptable. This does not mean that they may not work on related problems, but each student should have the experience of carrying out an investigation from beginning to end on his/her own initiative.
Research Involving Human Subjects
All research involving human subjects must be approved by the Human Investigation Committee (HIC) of the School of Medicine. Applications and guidelines are available online (http://info.med.yale.edu/hic/forms/index.html) or in the Office of the Chairman of the Committee, 47 College Street, Suite 208.
Research Done Outside of Yale
A student may wish to undertake his/her research project under the supervision of a qualified investigator who is not a member of the faculty of Yale University School of Medicine. The approval of an outside preceptor will be granted by the Office of Student Research upon receipt of a statement by a full time Yale faculty member acting as sponsor, in whose area the research work will be done. The statement should indicate the sponsor has approved the preceptor and the facilities available for the research project. The same regulations concerning the dates of submission and review by the appropriate departmental committee will apply to the thesis done outside of the medical school. Specifically, the faculty member will be responsible for reviewing the progress of the thesis with the student, reviewing the written thesis and giving faculty approval. The thesis will be reviewed by the Department Thesis Committee of this faculty member's department.
