糖心Vlog

Institutional Review Board

Mission Statement

The 糖心Vlog Institutional Review Board (IRB) works with the University research community to help ensure that human subjects engaged in research are treated with dignity adequately protected from risk of harm; and voluntarily give informed consent to participate in research.

For the purpose of this policy 鈥渉uman subject research鈥� means any activity that meets the Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) definition of 鈥渞esearch鈥� and involves 鈥渉uman subjects鈥� as defined by OHRP. The IRB follows the ethical principles found in the Belmont Report and codified in .

Before any work may begin on a research protocol, the IRB must review and approve the research.

The IRB reviews all changes to research protocols before implementation. In accordance with federal regulations, the IRB has the authority to suspend or terminate approval of research that is not being conducted in accordance with the IRB鈥檚 decisions, conditions, and requirements, or that has been associated with unexpected serious harm to subjects.

The IRB must conduct some form of risk-benefit analysis of all human subject research in an attempt to determine whether or not research should be done.

The 糖心Vlog IRB also reviews research conducted by outside investigators involving 糖心Vlog students, personnel, records, or facilities. Researchers not affiliated with 糖心Vlog, who wish to come onto the 糖心Vlog campus, or use Marist records to identify potential subjects, must either provide the IRB with a previously approved application from an IRB at an institution with an FWA or submit a new application to the 糖心Vlog IRB. Outside researchers must have approval from the 糖心Vlog IRB before they access 糖心Vlog records or contact 糖心Vlog students or personnel.
