Institutional Review Board (IRB)

The 探花楼 Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) review research projects that involve human subjects to protect their rights and welfare. Therefore, it is the policy of 探花楼 that all research conducted by any 探花楼 faculty member, staff member, or student using human subjects must have prior approval from a 探花楼 IRB before the research is initiated.

Human subjects research at 探花楼 is governed by 探花楼’s Federalwide Assurance, , and IRB Procedures (updated September 2022).
