Human Subjects Review Institutional Review Board (IRB)

Help With Human Subjects Review

The Sponsored Research, Scholarly and Creative Activities Officer provides administrative oversight to the Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects, its Executive Committee, and its chair. The IRB's function is to review research protocols for the use of human subjects in research (funded or non-funded) proposed by faculty, staff and students of UW-L.

Other functions of the Sponsored Research, Scholarly and Creative Activities Office, relative to human subject review, include providing certification of approval to sponsors and advising investigators and departments on policies and procedures. A guide and necessary forms for submission of proposals to the IRB are available from the Office of University Graduate Studies (145 Main Hall), contact irb@uwlax.edu
