This week I spent the entire time working on my IRB application and the digital divide survey.
1. IRB information document "Human Protocol for YMCA Ventura Center Survey.doc". There are several areas that I cannot fill in until I speak with the YMCA people to see if I have permission to send out documents to the students in the ELD, and other yet to be named (Focus on Success, AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination), others?). This is key, because if I don't get their help/permission, I will have a very small population of kids (less than 25 probably).
2. The survey itself in WORD "YMCA Ventura Center Computer Usage Survey.doc".
3. The sample assent letter for the IRB. I will need to get this translated into Spanish. I have someone who did it last year when our Diversity/International Committee translated our membership, scholarship and other forms into spanish and I think she will help me with this. If not, I may need to hire a Spanish translator and may need your help finding one I can hire (Carla if you know anyone, please let me know). Once you have the form approved, I will ask her.
NEXT DEADLINE FOR THE IRB: Dec. 3, 2007, 5:00pm
My meeting with the College Pathway's team has finally been set!! It is going to be at the Ventura Center on Tuesday 11/27/07 at 11am.
