About the IRB
The IRB is a committee responsible for reviewing research proposals submitted by 91ÁÔÆæ
students, faculty, and staff that involve the use of human subjects. IRB members make
sure that the proposed research is in compliance with university policy, and state
and federal regulations established to ensure the safety of research participants
and the ethical and responsible conduct of investigators.
If you plan on pursuing research with human participants either through direct interaction
(interviews, surveys, experimental interventions, etc.) or through the use of private
records about individuals, an application must be submitted to and approved by the
IRB before the research begins.
