If you choose to do your own literature search, badge swipe after-hours access is available. |
You will need to decide what type of article you wish to write and publish, as that will determine the detail of the literature search, and the documentation of the search that is returned to you. Sladen Library has a Systematic Literature Review Request form that must be completed if you feel you want a systematic review or meta-analysis.
MEDLINE/PubMed has a PICO search interface which may help as well.
If you decide on a systematic review or meta-analysis, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)process may help as well.
If you are the principal investigator (PI), you will need to complete the Basic Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative or CITI Responsible Conduct of Research course.
Once the initial CITI training is complete, the IRB requires PIs to have at least one hour per year of continuing education in human research subject protection. The Refresher CITI Course and the Good Clinical Practice Course are good choices for the first two years. After that the PI may choose other courses of particular interest.
MSU-COM also offers IRB assistance.
