Institutional Review Board (IRB)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Citadel conforms to the regulations specified in Title 45 Part 46<\/a> (Department of Health and Human Services) as amended in 2008 and Title 34 Part 97<\/a> (Department of Education) of the Code of Federal Regulations (45 CFR 46, 34 CFR 97) as amended June, 1991, concerning the protection of human subjects involved in research. In order to conform to the federal regulations, The Citadel has established the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and Departmental Review Boards (DRBs) whose primary responsibility is to ensure compliance with College policy, as well as with applicable state and federal regulations, which are currently in force or which, may be introduced in the future. Department Review Boards (DRBs) may be established by individual departments to provide internal preliminary feedback and assist with proposal preparation prior to submission to the Citadel IRB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All research conducted by faculty or students that involves human subjects must be submitted for review. This includes both Honor\u2019s and Master\u2019s theses research that involves human subjects. Even research that has been approved by another IRB (such as another institution) must be reviewed through the College\u2019s system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
