IRB Operations

The Institutional Review Board consists of independent committees established to advocate for the protection of the rights and welfare of human participants involved in research. The IRBs evaluate proposals for new research and conduct reviews of on-going research following Guiding Ethical Principles and federal and institutional requirements for the protection of human subjects.
