Reminder: Research Recruitment via Facebook
If you intend to post advertisements on the UF Studies Facebook page, you must have a meeting with the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) Recruitment Center and attach a letter of approval for the recruitment method in your myIRB submission.
You can contact the CTSI Recruitment Center for a no-cost consultation at any point in your study, even before submitting for IRB approval. Start by requesting a consultation using the online form or emailing Deaven Hough at deavenf@ufl.edu.
For further information regarding the use of any social media for research recruitment, please refer to the guidelines at https://research.ufl.edu/wp-content/uploads/socialmedia.pdf.
