AI Helped Create a Brief Checklist for Our Students in Capstone Projects to Engage the IRB

    When asked by Lisa Wilson how RAs are using AI tools, I thought about the recent checklist that I asked CHATGPT to generate. Our IRB wanted to create this so that it becomes a guide for faculty and students. CHATGPT was on point with each topic and I just personalized it for our university.

    Hi Julie,

    This is such a strong use case-asking ChatGPT to generate a draft IRB checklist that you could then tailor for your campus is a great example of using AI to accelerate meaningful work. The checklist you created is practical for both students and faculty navigating human subjects research.

    I think people may have missed your post last week, so I'm planning to start this week's discussion thread with it. Our IRB team would definitely be interested in seeing how AI helped structure something this foundational. It's also a great reminder that when used thoughtfully, these AI can help reduce the administrative lift without compromising quality.

    I'll reattach the checklist you shared so others can benefit from the structure you built-it's a great model. Thanks again for sharing it! Looking forward to seeing what other use cases come out of this one. 

    Out of curiosity, did you use a specific prompt to generate the initial checklist? It would be great to include that in this week's post if you're willing to share-it could help others trying to create something similar.

    Have an AI powered week!

    Lisa

    Hi Lisa, 

    Thanks for reposting, I am a bit rusty with the Discussion Group posting but happy that others may benefit from this sample use-case.

    In creating this checklist, the ChatGPT prompt was, "Create a checklist for capstone class projects to be aware of when conducting human subjects research and working with the IRB". OpenAI. (2025). ChatGPT (June 23) [Large language model]. https://chat.openai.com/chat . 

    ChatGPT generated at 6-page document and I summarized the key points on this one-sheet. Happy to answer any questions and to see how others are using AI. Thanks again, Lisa!
