Prepare your team
All study team members (including university employees, students and volunteers) who interact with minors participating as subjects in university-sponsored research are required to:
- Complete the Minors as Research Participants eLearning course.
- Consent to a background check.
- Adhere to a Code of Conduct and reporting obligations.
This policy applies to all university-sponsored research on and off all campuses (UM-Ann Arbor, Michigan Medicine areas, UM-Flint, UM-Dearborn). Individuals who do not adhere to this policy will no longer be authorized by the university to interact with minors as research participants. A minor is defined as an individual under the age of 18 years.
