Institutional Research Board

All research conducted at or sponsored by Duquesne University that involves human subjects must be approved by the IRB before research begins and, when necessary, reviewed periodically during the course of the project. All key personnel engaged in human subjects research must complete the online CITI training program prior to IRB approval of a new or continuing review application. Information is available from the office of the Chair of the IRB, Dr. David Delmonico, x4032 delmonico@duq.edu.

National Fellowships

Duquesne University is seeking talented undergraduate and graduate students interested in applying for prestigious national scholarship and fellowship opportunities. Successful candidates are typically in their junior or senior years of study and have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher. Most successful candidates for these outstanding opportunities also have a record of achievement in service, organizational leadership, or scholarly research and publication. The process of competing for these scholarships and fellowships also offers the students a great personal and professional developmental experience. If you fit this profile and would be interested in talking to Duquesne's scholarships and fellowships director, please contact Christine Pollock by email at pollockc@duq.edu.
