The IRB is committed to serving our campus research community, including KCOM, MOSDOH, CGHS, NMRC, and other appropriately engaged entities.

The IRB's role:

Provide relevant guidelines and information, accessible forms and simple to use document templates.
Demystify the regulatory processes, ensure that complete and understandable information is always provided to your research participants/partners
Evaluate and oversee studies to ensure risks to participants are minimized and acceptable in consideration of the benefits, and advise and consult on research ethical conduct issues.
