recent News
Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, and the University of Arizona are pleased to announce the establishment of an IRB reciprocity agreement for research projects involving investigators from the three campuses. This agreement simplifies the process of IRB review of collaborative projects by allowing one campus to become the designated IRB for jointly conducted projects. We hope that this agreement will encourage research collaborations among our three state campuses. For more information contact the Research Compliance Office at 480-965-6788 or send a message to research.compliance@asu.edu.
overview
The role of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) is to review all proposed research involving human subjects to ensure that subjects are treated ethically and that their rights and welfare are adequately protected.
The IRB is composed primarily of faculty members from disciplines in which research involving human subjects is integral to that discipline's work, researchers whose primary interests are non-scientific, as well members from the community. The human subjects review process is administered through the Research Compliance Office.
All research activities involving the use of human subjects must be reviewed and approved by the IRB before data collection can begin. Investigators may not solicit subject participation or begin data collection until they have received written approval from the IRB.
Check the FAQs for answers to general questions about the IRB application process and refer to the Forms page to download application forms.
