The
Institutional Review Board (IRB) is an institutional committee created to protect the rights and welfare of human research subjects. The committee is responsible for reviewing research designs (protocols) involving human subjects.
Before you begin research with human subjects you must have written approval from the IRB. The most common types of research reviewed by the IRB include:
- Faculty research involving human subjects, including but not limited to surveys, interviews, focus groups, and experimental research.
- Grant-funded research that includes requirements for IRB approval of components that relate to human subjects.
