Determine if you are doing Human Subjects Research
• Research – A systematic investigation, including development, testing, and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge
• Human subject – living individual about whom an investigator obtains
• Data through intervention or interaction• Identifiable private information
*If doing FDA research, definitions differ
