Institutional Review Board (IRB)
Who needs IRB approval?
All projects involving human subjects must be reviewed and approved by the University's Institutional Review Board before the planned research may begin. Importantly, faculty and graduate student advisors who assign or supervise research conducted by students, including doctoral and graduate students, are responsible for assuring that all research and dissertation work has been approved by the Institutional Review Board.
