Who must apply for human subjects review through the IRB?
Anyone who intends to conduct research involving people must apply for and receive IRB approval before beginning that research. This applies to ALL research involving people including but not limited to clinical, social science, behavioral, historic, linguistic and marketing research projects. IRB review may also be required for work involving human tissues and records. If in doubt, contact Melanie Clark, Compliance Coordinator, via email or via phone at (404) 894-6942.
