Institutional Review Board
The function of the Institutional Review Board is to protect persons participating in research. Accordingly, the IRB shall review and approve (or not approve) any project or experiment involving human subjects that is conducted by Logan University faculty, students, staff, clinic personnel or administrators, or which utilizes university resources, facilities, or equipment, or is conducted at other locations through collaboration with other institutions. The IRB maintains this focus through a group process to review research protocols and related material (e.g., informed consent documents and investigator materials) to ensure that research involving human subjects is planned and carried out in accord with ethical guidelines and federal regulations as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations 45 CFR 46, the National Research Act, Public Law 93-348, the Declarations of Helsinki and the Neurenberg Code.
