Human Research
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is in place to ensure that human subjects involved in research are adequately protected and that the institution remains in compliance with the regulation. Prior to the initiation of any research efforts that involve human subjects the IRB review is required.

An IRB Member is assigned as the contact person for each unit on campus. This IRB member is available to answer questions and clarify forms and procedures. Researchers should submit IRB applications to the ORC. The ORC will process the application and forward it on to the unit's IRB Contact Member, who
will initiate the review of the proposal.

*Please note: some items require the Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader and the Microsoft Office Viewer both of which can be downloaded free of charge.


Training

The Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP), under the auspices of the Public Health Service, oversees compliance with the ethical guidelines and regulatory requirements for research involving human subjects. The OHRP has published Educational Materials which may be useful in answering some of the questions that arise when writing a research protocol.

UNCG's IRB accepts certificates of training from three sources. Certificates of completion are available at the end of the tutorial or training session. This certificate must be printed and attached to your IRB application.

Forms

IMPORTANT NOTE: Approvals for research are valid for a time period established by the IRB which can't exceed one year. If your research extends beyond one year, the project must be reviewed and renewed before the expiration date and prior to continuation. The IRB is directed by federal guidelines to shut down any and all research using human participants that does not have a current approval.
