Institutional Review Board

All research proposals involving human subjects must be submitted to the Institutional Review Board in order to protect and assure the rights of research subjects as defined by ethical considerations and government guidelines.

You should understand that following a review of your research, the IRB may require you to make changes in your protocol and/or resubmit your project to meet research ethics standards.

As a consequence, it is critical that IRB approval is sought well in advance of the desired project start date.
