• Any investigator from outside Caldwell University who wishes to perform research on members of the Caldwell University community or on its campus. These investigators must have a Caldwell University faculty or staff member serve as sponsor or co-investigator. Approval must be given by the VPAA and/or designee for the research to be conducted on campus by anyone not affiliated by the university.
