IRB Committee 3

IRB Committee 3 reviews all student-led human subjects research when FDA regulations do not apply. Student-led protocols require a faculty sponsor; the faculty sponsor must ensure that IRB review/approval is obtained prior to research initiation. Specific IRB office hours, assistance, and training are available for students and/or their faculty sponsors.

IRB 3 does not review FDA-regulated research. 

The IRB office has established office hours especially for students:

  • Meet virtually or in person to ask questions about the IRB submission and review process
  • Want to discuss human subjects' issues related to your specific project? Meet virtually on Tuesdays or in person on Thursdays!
  • Receive guidance and answers to your specific questions in the drafting of your protocol before submitting it to the IRB
  • Share your screen virtually or bring your laptop, and we’ll walk you through ICON
  • Open office hours for students are from 9 am – 11:30 am virtually on Tuesdays ​via Zoom (see meeting information below) and Thursdays in person in room E. Cullen 403:

Attention Faculty Sponsors!

  • Unsure of how to best review student IRB protocols prior to applying your approval signature?

Make an appointment to work with a compliance specialist to walk through the application and discuss what the IRB looks for in an application. Faculty Sponsor Manual is also available to assist you in providing IRB-related guidance to your students.

  • Will a student be engaged in your IRB-approved human subjects research for their thesis/dissertation? In many cases, if aims and instruments align, this student may be added to your approved protocol and does not have to have a protocol of their own. Contact the IRB office for additional information or to determine on a case-by-case basis.
