The following files contain some information that will help you determine if your research project needs IRB approval (and the type of submission). Please note that this information does not preclude you from going through the CITI training, or from a formal submission to the IRB office at DU.

Practicum Projects
All RMS students complete their practicum after taking sufficient preparatory courses in the program. The practicum typically takes between 25-100 hours to complete over a six-month period. The goal of the practicum is to provide a field experience in aspects of designing, conducting, and presenting a research or evaluation project. Students present their findings to RMS faculty and their community partner. On occasions, students have also submitted the paper written from the practicum for presentation at a department, college, university, regional, or national conference. For more details see the RMS Handbook.

Relevant National and International Conferences
On formats: LIS tends to borrow from two traditions for conferences. Humanities-style paper presentations require submission of an abstract, to be presented in full at the conference. These can generally be expanded into future journal publications. Science-style proceedings papers require submission of a full paper (often around 8-13 pages). If accepted, the work is still presented at a conference, but the material is usually archival - considered 'published' and usually not appropriate to submit elsewhere unless there are substantial additional developments. There are some non-archival full paper venues (e.g. iConference prior to 2018), but uncommon.
