Research students must be at least 16 years of age to work in a research lab at BIDMC. This is non-negotiable.
If you plan to hire a 16- or 17-year-old student to conduct research in your lab, the following steps must be completed:
- Minor Research Student Questionnaire Form must be completed and signed by the Principal Investigator, BILH Environmental Health and Safety, and Radiation Safety.
- BILH Environmental Health and Safety: EnvironmentalHealth&Safety@caregroup.harvard.edu
-
- Radiation Safety: radsafety@bidmc.harvard.edu
- Minor Research Student Parental Consent Form must be signed by the student’s parent or guardian. This form should be sent, with the copy of the signed minor research student questionnaire form, to the parent or guardian for review and signature.
- Students must be at least 18 years of age to conduct research with animals.
You will be prompted to include both forms on the REDCap intake form to submit the intake form for review and approval. If you do not have the proper signatures on these forms, OSEE will send this back.
Any questions about this process or forms can be directed to the Office of Student Engagement and Experience
