Procedure for requests of TMEA membership participation in research studies. Please read carefully if you wish to approach TMEA regarding research.
1. A request for approval from TMEA must be submitted to the TMEA Research chair for evaluation. If this is an initial request fro a letter to submit for IRB approval, then the researcher/student researcher must provide the title, type of research, purpose statement, description of the study and why they wish to include the TMEA membership (i.e. survey). this with with the understanding that this is not approval for the study, but acknowledgement that the request will be considered again if IRB approval is granted. The researcher/student researcher must understand that IRB approval is necessary to ensure that materials will be treated in an ethical manner concerning confidentiality and consent to participate.
2. Once IRB approval has been obtained, the researcher/student researcher may contact the TMEA Research Chair with the IRB approval number, cover letter, and survey questions. At this time, the TMEA Research Chair will examine the cover letter and survey questions. If approved, they will be forwarded to the TMEA Executive Director for examination and any discussion that may be needed with the TMEA officers.
3. If final approval is granted, then the Executive Director will send the cover letter and survey to the TMEA membership. At no time will a researcher/student researcher receive the email addresses of the TMEA membership. The researcher/student researcher may also place a link to the suvey on the TMEA Facebook Page if they are a member of the organization.
