Institutional Review Board (IRB)
介绍
The federal government and University policy require the review of all research involving human subjects. The reviews by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) are designed to safeguard research subjects' rights and welfare. Continuing projects must be reviewed and approved at least annually.The IRB will determine whether a study is exempted, eligible for expedited review, or requires a full-board review. For exempted studies, the IRB will communicate that decision within working days. For expedited reviews, the IRB will communicate with the investigator(s) within ten working days. For studies that require a full board review, the IRB will need twenty working days in order to complete the review.
If you wish to conduct research involving human subjects, follow these steps:
1. Review the following policies:
- 政策: Protection of Human Subjects in Research
- 政策: Institutional Review Board (IRB) and Procedures
- 政策: Reporting Unanticipated Problems in Research
2. 完成 CITI Training for Social and Behavioral Responsible Conduct of Research
3. Submit a research petition with all research documentation (i.e., informed consent, survey instruments, scripts, debriefing documents, etc.). All documents must be submitted by the Primary Investigator, typically a supervising faculty member, to irbpetition@luciavassallo.com.
