A protocol is required for each of the two situations presented below; determine which participant(s) is responsible for providing the protocol, SOP, consent forms, approvals, etc. for a proposed study of the problem. In other words, what is each participant required to provide in the way of paperwork.

1. During the last five years, the alligator population has diminished significantly in Lake Apopka. It has been postulated that pesticides used in the area accumulate in alligator eggs thereby causing a reduced birth rate. In order to study this problem, the principal investigator will collect the alligator eggs and give them to the departmental GC/MS laboratory that will determine the levels of pesticides in the egg yolks. Using this data, the investigator will see if there is a correlation between alligator population and pesticide usage.
