Protecting Human Subjects through Institutional Review Boards

All institutions applying for federal funds must have Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) with clearly defined policies and procedures to ensure that grant-funded research activities protect human subjects. Principal investigators submitting proposals involving research and human subjects must complete required forms and submit the project for IRB review prior to submission. The information in this section is divided into two areas:

• Background on Institutional Review Boards
• Internal Operating Procedures
