For Participants
At BYU, safeguarding the rights, safety, and well-being of individuals who volunteer for research is paramount. Our research volunteers play a crucial role in advancing knowledge and addressing significant inquiries that have the potential to enhance the quality of life. Referred to interchangeably as "subjects" or "participants," these volunteers provide invaluable insights through their participation in studies. Our website offers essential resources, providing foundational information on research protocols and outlining the rights afforded to research participants.
