Subject Pool Directions for Researchers

UCLA Department of Psychology Subject Pool

Researchers must apply to receive approval to use the UCLA Psychology Department Subject Pool by submitting an application and a copy of your IRB or HSPC approval to the Chair of the Subject Pool Committee, Dr. Edward Geiselman. Please note that a separate application needs to be submitted for each study you plan to run (even if they all fall under the umbrella of one larger study).
Once approved, you will receive a log on and password which will enable you to access the Psychology Department Subject Pool system.
Once logged on, post your experiment to recruit participants from the subject pool, schedule appointment times, and assign credits to participants.
If you or members of your lab would like to receive training or have questions about the Psychology Subject Pool system, please contact Melina Dorian at subjectpool@psych.ucla.edu.
