I just received final ethical (institutional review board) approval to begin my thesis research!
After adding one sentence to address data encryption, I revised and resubmitted my Invitation to Participate and Consent Form for my study, Navigating Liminality in Distance Education: The Experiences of Research and Professional Doctorate Learners. I am now ready to go, and expect to create a location for my research information here on my webpage, after which I will talk more specifically about what I hope to study and how I plan to do this.
If you are a doctoral student (or recently completed your doctorate), you just may be a potential participants for my research! I may ask you to tell me about your experiences . . .
Congratulations, Jeffrey. I wish you all the best.
Thank you, Ahmad. Have you made this sort of leap (yet)?
Jeffrey
Yes, I am almost at the same stage. I hope to receive IRB approval in the next 2-3 weeks.
Ahmad
Do you just need university IRB approval, or do you also need IRB approval at the organization where you will research?
Jeffrey
I will not be doing my research at a specific organization, so I will just need university IRB approval.
