What is the Institutional Review Board and how do I know if it applies to my project?
The IRB is a JMU committee that oversees compliance issues related to the research of human subjects. Certain experiments, such as conducting interviews with people, may require IRB approval. See IRB’s website: http://www.jmu.edu/sponsprog/irb.html Discuss the need for IRB approval with your project advisor.
