Human Subjects Protection Program
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is designed to review, approve initiation of, and conduct periodic review of all research projects involving human subjects conducted by EUP faculty, students, or staff (including collaborative projects with other institutions and agencies).
All research that involves human subjects must be reviewed by the IRB committee, for they are the only entity at EUP that holds the authority to make a decision on the request. The process will take approximately three weeks and involves a few simple steps.
