If you have questions about how to gain access to the subject pool or about other procedures, please contact the Subject Pool Coordinator, Ashley Bennett (edpSubjectPool@austin.utexas.edu). If you have questions about a policy matter, please contact Dr. Gigi Awad (gawad@austin.utexas.edu), EDP Subject Pool Committee Chairsupervisor. 

How to Request Subjects

...

EDP faculty and graduate student researchers* wishing to request student subjects must first submit their study for consideration by completing a Request for Researcher Account and Study Proposal Submission form. 

Proposals must be submitted within the first 2 weeks of the semester. The Subject Pool Committee will meet after the semester submission deadline to review all proposals. Researchers should realize that the number of subjects and the time allotted to your study by the Committee may be different from what you requested, depending on the constraints faced by the Committee each semester.

* Graduate student researchers must have a faculty sponsor for their research. If your study is part of your dissertation, you need the sponsorship of your committee supervisor, and you must have successfully completed your dissertation proposal meeting. Your request for subjects will be delayed or rejected for the semester if you fail to meet these requirements.
