    UIS: Local excellence, global impact

Institutional Review Board

The use of human subjects in research is extremely important to the development of new knowledge in many areas. However, careful attention must be given to questions of ethics and human dignity whenever human subjects participate in research.

All research involving human subjects (including course projects, capstone projects, master's theses, and independent student research) must be formally reviewed and approved before any data are collected.

Research protocols should be submitted to Mail Stop PAC 525, Attention Deb Koua. The level of review required of each protocol (exempt, expedited, or full IRB review) will be determined by the UIS Human Subjects Review Officer.

The IRB will meet once during the summer semester, the fall schedule will be posted as soon as it is finalized (all meetings held in PAC 5A):
