IRB Policies and Procedures
An Institutional Review Board is a committee designated by an institution to review, approve the initiation of, and conduct periodic review of research involving human subjects. Human subjects research also includes research that only involves the analysis of identifiable private information on living individuals. The primary purpose of an IRB review is to help assure the protection of the rights and welfare of human subjects. Investigators also share the responsibility for protecting human subjects. The ethical principals described in the Belmont Report provide the foundation for the Federal regulations. The IRB Policies and Procedures are listed below.
