About the IRB

An IRB is a committee that performs ethical reviews of human subjects’ research proposals to ensure proper precautions are taken to protect the rights and safety of participants. The IRB has the authority to approve, require modifications (to secure approval), or disapprove research projects. The board is also responsible for regular monitoring of previously approved research projects to evaluate the actual risk to participants.

The Agency of Human Services Central Office is involved with a number of Boards and Commissions, listed below. Visit each Department's website to learn more about the other Boards, Commissions, and semi-State organizations with whom are affiliated.
