To allay concerns by the general public about the responsible conduct of research
At ÏãåúÖ±²¥ all research involving human or animal subjects must be approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). ÌýAn IRB is a federally mandated entity that oversees the protection of human and animal subjects in scientific research. ÌýThe purpose of the IRB is to mitigate the potential harm to subjects, including physical and psychological well-being, autonomy and right to refuse consent, and privacy/confidentiality. ÌýThe IRB at ÏãåúÖ±²¥ reviews all research involving human and animal subjects to ensure that risks have been minimized. ÌýThe potential harm to subjects must be evaluated against the potential benefit before human and animal subjects participate in the research. ÌýThe IRB also requires that human subjects only volunteer to participate in research studies after they have been provided legally effective informed consent. ÌýInvestigators may not begin recruiting subjects or collecting data until written approval from the IRB has been provided to the principle investigator. ÌýAll research studies are required to undergo annual review unless granted an exemption by the IRB. ÌýAll research studies by students at ÏãåúÖ±²¥ must be supervised by an appropriate faculty member.
