Research Recruitment
ATTENTION RESEARCHERS:
We are pleased that you are interested in conducting research on siblings as this is a much needed area of research. At the SLN, we have a process wherein researchers submit their recruitment materials and IRB approval. Our Research Committee then reviews the materials and, if approved, distributes the materials to the SLN constituency, including the SLN chapters.
If you are seeking participants for a research project that you would like the Sibling Leadership Network to consider, you can submit the proposal that includes the full study and IRB approval to: zachary.rossetti@siblingleadership.org. If your study is approved, we will distribute your recruitment materials to our SLN listserv as well as post your recruitment materials on our website and Facebook page.
