Welcome to the CAT’s Umbrella IRB Initiative
The CAT and Temple’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) created a protocol by which the CAT may review and approve teaching and learning focused research (Scholarship of Teaching and Learning; SoTL) conducted here at Temple. The aim of this protocol is to:
- lower potential barriers hindering faculty from carrying out classroom-based research;
- generate new best teaching practices; and
- help bolster Temple’s mission to conduct state-of-the-art research and promote evidence-based teaching practices..
