Wednesday, September 27th - Study opening date for IRB-approved studies. Studies may also open after this date.
Friday, December 1st - Study closing date for all EDP Subject Pool studies. Studies close at midnight that evening. You may close your study earlier, but this is the last possible day to run participants.
Wednesday, December 6th - Finalized study credits are due from all researchers.
Monday, December 11th - End of semester.
Specialized Subject Requests
There are two options when requesting a specialized group of subjects. You can request subjects based on demographic characteristics (see list below).
You may also submit your own potential screening questions or criteria. Screening questions are limited to a total of 5 and should be submitted for approval to Dr. Diane Schallert (dschallert@mail.utexas.edu) 5 days prior to the beginning of the semester. If approved, they will be included on the subject pool student registration website by the first day of class. Screening questions will be rejected if there appears to be any psychological risks or issues of confidentiality about administering them to the entire pool of potential subjects.

- By completing the registration process the subject is agreeing to participate in a research study rather than doing the alternative assignment as their way to meet the research requirement.
- However, this does not commit the subject to participate in the study that is assigned to them.
- At the time the study is conducted, the subject will be given a consent form that describes the nature of the study.
- The subject may decline to participate in the particular study upon reading this form if they choose.
- In addition, once the study is underway, the subject has the right to cease participation in the study at any time without penalty should they feel uncomfortable with the study's procedures.
