Human Subjects Research Local Review Boards
Minimal risk human subject research that is not funded may be reviewed at the local (departmental or college) level if a local board exists. The existing local review boards listed below each have specific requirements for the review of research and should be contacted in advance of any research being done that involves human subjects. Projects done in those departments not covered by the following list should be reviewed by the central Institutional Review Board (IRB), in advance of the start of a research project that involves human subjects.
