Institutional Review Board (IRB)
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a 大学委员会 empowered by federal regulations to oversee research activities involving human subjects. The IRB is responsible for the review and monitoring of research involving human subjects in order to assure the protection of the rights and welfare of the subjects participating in research.
IRB利用 IRBNet for the 提交 of all human subjects research studies. IRBNet is a web-based system of electronic tools to support the management, 提交, review and administration of IRB protocols. 这里有 快速启动资源 在IRBNet内工作.
Researchers are encouraged to go to the Forms and Templates tab within IRBNet and review the Institutional Review Board Documents for Researchers. 资源 include the IRB procedures handbook (found below), 必要的形式, 以及浏览IRBNet的工具.
The IRB accepts applications on a year-round basis. The only deadlines are for protocols receiving full board reviews. Research activities in which involvement of human subjects involves more than minimal risk and does not fall within one or more of the exemption categories or expedited review categories, or involves certain vulnerable populations (e.g. prisoners) must undergo a full board review by a quorum of the IRB committee.

Important Updates and 资源
1. Quality Improvement/Action Research Self-Determination Tool
We have developed a Quality Improvement/Action Research Self-Determination Tool that will help PIs identify if their project qualifies under the federal definition of research. Research is defined as "a systematic investigation, including research development, 测试与评估, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge.(联邦法典第45卷第46条).102(d)). However, not all of the scholarly work falls under the federal definition of research. 基于每个bc菠菜导航, the title of this scholarship may be different (program improvement, 项目评估, 质量改进, 行动的调查, 行动研究, etc.). 为了方便使用, we have chosen to use the terms 质量改进 and 行动研究 to guide this self-determination. The tool aims to allow users to evaluate their scholarly activities to determine if human subjects review is necessary. 虽然不是必需的, we are encouraging use of the Quality Improvement/Action Research Self-Determination Tool to ensure, if they are in fact doing human subjects research, they are guided toward the IRB review process. The tool is available for both students and faculty. 当工具完成时, notifications will be communicated to the user, faculty sponsor (if applicable), 和IRB管理员. The user will get an immediate indication of whether their project may require human subjects review. We will regularly audit responses and contact users and faculty sponsors if a project rises to the level of human subjects research and requires a review, but may not have indicated so to the user who completed it. Because we know it may be used as an instructional tool, we have also included an option for Testing/Demonstration.
