Institutional Review Board Approval
Institutional Review Board Approval
Research conducted for a thesis, a project or as part of your coursework may require the approval of an Institutional Review Board (IRB).
- IRB is short for Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects.
- All institutions involved in research with human subjects, that also receive federal funds, are required to have an IRB.
- IRBs are composed of volunteers (at colleges and universities they are mostly faculty) who meet on a regular basis.
