What is an IRB?
- IRB is short for Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects.
- All institutions involved in research with human subjects, that also receive federal funds, are required to have an IRB.
- IRBs are composed of volunteers (at colleges and universities they are mostly faculty) who meet on a regular basis.
The IRB Manual and related forms can be found on the Institutional Review Board (IRB) web page.
