Research resources
Reach out to us
Whether you're looking for help with study design, data analysis, or editorial review, Hurley research staff can help. Research staff also provide education about all phases of research. Email and Google Calendar work best for appointments, but you're also welcome to call.
Hurley IRB
The Hurley IRB uses irbnet.org to manage applications and reports. Everything starts with a scientific review by Hurley Research (see contact info). After that, establish your own account in IRBNet, upload your CV, and complete the required training - then upload your project documents.
Medical library
Hurley's medical library is a good place to learn how to conduct a literature review, find full-text articles, access MSU resources (for those who have an MSU faculty appointment), or just work in a peaceful area. Residents & fellows are eligible for 24/7 access.
