Institutional Review Board (IRB)
Protecting
human Subjects
If your research involves human subjects, you'll likely need IRB approval.
Using human subjects in research is one of the most effective ways to test theories. But it also involves the most ethical considerations. Approval by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) upholds two broad standards. First, that participants are not placed at undue risk. Second, that they give uncoerced, informed consent to their participation. Once you submit your project to us, we'll provide personalized attention. After approval, you move forward with your research, apply for grants and ensure your subjects are protected.
