Institutional Review Board
What is the Institutional Review Board?
Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) or research ethics committees conduct periodic reviews of human subjects research to ensure participants are protected and proposals meet ethical acceptability standards for human research.
If you are unsure if your project requires IRB review, submit an inquiry to IRB@stockton.edu.
