Institutional Review Board - IRB (approval from IRB often required before beginning research)

IU Human Subjects & Institutional Review Board
The IRB is in place to protect the rights of patients participating in research trials, either clinical or social. Whether you plan on conducting a survey in the outpatient clinic or a drug study on the inpatient wards, you will need to have your research study approved through the IU Human Subjects & Institutional Review Board.
