CERTIFICATION
I certify that the information provided entirely and accurately describes the proposed research protocol. I agree not
to make changes to the protocol without first seeking IRB approval, except in the case of immediate harm to
participants. I agree to conduct research in accordance with applicable federal guidelines. I agree to immediately
report any unanticipated problems or adverse events to the IRB as soon as they are discovered.
I understand that the receipt of approval from the IRB Committee does not necessarily guarantee that I will be

review by the Broward College Registrar and Institutional Research, who may, if the research is not in the best
interest of the college, deny approval. If the IRB Committee denies approval, the decision cannot be overturned. If I
am an employee of Broward College, my immediate supervisor is aware of my intent to conduct this research.
