#48.2 - Protection of Human Subjects in Research

Approved: October 11, 2006

Monitor: Provost

At 91吃瓜网, the Institutional Review Board (IRB) is charged with assuring the protection of the rights and welfare of human subjects participating in research. In order to assure this protection, 91吃瓜网’s policy is to comply with the National Research Act (P.L. 93-348§212a) and  and any other relevant governmental regulations. To this end, 91吃瓜网 has created the specific policies described in the document: EASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE REVIEW OF RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTS. The associated appendices, forms, instructions, and other guidelines are also authoritative statements of 91吃瓜网’s policy of protecting human subjects. 

Any undertaking in which an EIU faculty member, staff member, or student investigates or collects information on living humans for research or related activities may be considered as “involving human subjects.” It is the responsibility of each investigator to seek review by the IRB for any study involving human subjects prior to beginning the project.
