IRB

The Institutional Review Board is charged with the responsibility to review research studies and ensure that the well-being of research participants is appropriately safeguarded. Responsibility for ethical conduct rests with all parties involved in the review, oversight, or conduct of research involving human or animal subjects. Parties include the Assistant Provost, Deans, Associate Deans, Division Chairs, faculty, staff, students, and members of the IRB.

 

To submit all applications for IRB review, please email completed forms and any additional required documentation to irb@mcpherson.edu. For assistance completing applications or for answers to any questions, please feel free to reach out to any of the IRB members.
